Brought to you by the latest in technological magnificence: the Lite version of our Pocket Sundial. A sundial right with you, whenever youd like. Eschew commonplace analogue, or *gasp* digital displays. Return to a nobler, simpler time.

The Lite version displays a single gnomon view, showing a standard horizontal sundial design. With this type of sundial, hour-lines allow you to track the time and shadows even throughout the year.

With the compass in your device (not necessary, but helpful), the sundial reacts as youd expect while you turn it. Locate your device automatically, or select your desired place on a map.

Aside from the fun of telling the current time, though, this sundial allows you to easily adjust the time. Where will the sun be in three hours? What shadows will be cast?

These are not just academic questions! Photographers need to know when they can get the perfect shot. Gardeners need to know how much shade a tree will really cast. And cavemen desperately need to make it to meetings on time.

Upgrade to the full version for more options, such as accelerometer controls, the ability to change the date, latitude, and longitude, as well as other sundial views.

As always, Im interested to hear of any suggestions or features youd like.
