Point the nose, see exactly when the sun hits your sliding door. Free for today. Pro adds Find heading, solar panels and planning ahead. Which way should the van point? Shady Side shows you when the sun will hit the sliding door of your van at your exact location, for whichever way you park. Turn the nose on the compass and watch the door's sun hours change. Then park the way you want: sun in the door on a cold morning, shade all afternoon on a hot one. FREE • Live compass with today's sun path • When the sun comes in the door, to the minute, for your heading • The van's shadow on the ground, so you can see which side has shade and when • Built around real van dimensions (Ram ProMaster presets, or enter your own), so a high sun that only lights the outside wall doesn't count as sun in the door • Awning option PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) • Find heading: say when you want sun in the door, or shade, and it tells you where to point the nose • Solar panels: best aim and tilt for a portable panel, set once or re-aimed morning, midday and afternoon • Plan ahead: scrub to 7 AM tomorrow, next week, or the winter solstice before you pick a spot • Sun by side: a sun and shade timeline for every face of the van Everything is computed on your phone with the NOAA solar position equations. No account, no tracking, and it works with no signal. Made by a full-time van dweller.
