inShade: Shady Walk Routes

About this app

inShade finds walking routes with more shade, so you can reach your destination while staying cool. Using the sun's position and the height of buildings, inShade calculates the shadows cast on the streets and suggests a "shade route" in addition to the usual "shortest route." Make hot-day walks, commutes, school runs, and outings with kids or a stroller a little cooler and more comfortable. When it helps - You want to walk in the shade on a hot afternoon - You'd happily take a slightly longer but cooler route - You want to choose your route when the sun is strong Main features - Switch between the shade route and the shortest route (compare walking time and how much more shade you get) - Change the time of day and watch the sun move, the shadows shift, and the route change - See the sun's direction and altitude right on the map - Search from your current location to a destination and view the route - Available in 100+ countries How to use 1. Search for a destination, or tap the map 2. Compare "Shade" and "Shortest" 3. Pick the cooler route and head out Beat the sun and make summer city walks far more comfortable.
