Sun Compass 1.8 (for Palm OS)
This program is a compass for Palm organizer in relation to the position of the sun.
This program is a compass for Palm handhelds. All you have to do, is to setup your home city by selecting it from the list. If your hometown is not available just select one nearby.
After knowing the geographic position (longitude and latitude) and the timezone (difference to the GMT Standard Time) the program calculates the direction of the sun and displays a yellow circle (sun symbol) on the display.

1jef: Ok martin, enough of Bill on blue collar tv. : > ) This app would really help if it had a sidereal time option to show the galactic center above or below the horizon of earth for us scientific types.
mdrennan: kind of fun, but not a real location app.
martinklahm: Honestly.... you need this? Sun and moon rise in east, set in west. There you go.
Here's your sign.
