Hi,
There is going to bee a Moon eclipse this Friday, a Red Moon.
Now I wonder, is there some application or web page that shows in a map
of any location in what exact direction the Moon is going to be at a
given day and hour?
That is, I want to plan where to go and take photos of the Moon, to see
what obstacles are on the way of my shots.
A web page would be fine, or an Android application.
It is not a star map, that I have. And yes, it tells me the moon
location at the time needed, but then I have to calculate the position
on the landscape by hand and paper.

Thanks! Wonderful :-)
For now, I think the free web page will suffice.
From there, I found some apps for Android, some gratis, some not:
The Photographer's Ephemeris 3.09€
Crookneck Consulting LLC
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crookneckconsulting.tpeandroid
comments say the Android version is lacking compared to the iphone version.
PhotoPills, PhotoPills 9.99€
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=PhotoPills
Planit! for Photographers
PlanIt Photo Inc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yingwen.photographertools
Sun Surveyor Lite
Adam Ratana
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ratana.sunsurveyorlite
I have not used Photopills, but those who have claim it's the best of
the bunch.
