I haven't tried it yet as it seems to duplicate much of the function of
The Photographer's Ephemeris, but I thought those who might prefer a
different GUI implementation and features, might like to make a
comparison.

It's free for the desktop. Seem to lean heavily on the Googs services:

How did you manage to get an iOS only (iPhone & iPad) app (Photopills)
to run on any PC?

....or were you thinking of "The Photographer's Epemeris"?

That's useful soft for the landscaper.

The PTE is available as a free desktop app and works fine on my Mac:

There are versions for phones, pads and tabs too but those ain't free.

Thanks for the headsup Duck! :-))

Yup! I use the Mac desktop edition and the iOS version of TPE on both
iPhone and iPad. I have done so for several years.

Since PTE for the desktop is a web app I decide to make a little script
to make it launch it like a propper app.

Open a text editor like nano and paste this:

code

#! /bin/bash

open -a /Applications/Safari.app
'http://app.photoephemeris.com/?ll=40.748401,-73.985614&dt=20160916021800-0400&center=40.7492,-73.9843&z=16&spn=0.01,0.02'

open -a /Applications/Safari.app
'/Volumes/stuff/photog/reference/_manualer/mjukvara/tpewa-quick-start-guide-01.pdf'


exit

/code

Save as ~/Desktop/pte.command

Make executable:

chmod +x ~/Desktop/pte.command

Then you have a clickable "app" on the desktop that you can move to
your prefered location!

Macs only of course. ;-)
