In plain words
Shadowmap is an interactive 3D maps application that visualizes solar shadows and sunlight across the globe. It uses three-dimensional data to show how the sun's position affects different locations at any given time. The tool is designed for photographers, drone operators, and anyone needing to understand solar availability for planning purposes.

Given the impact the Sun ☀️ has on all our lives, a tool to predict its availability is surprisingly missing – Shadowmap is here to change that. It visualizes sunlight and solar shadows based on 3D data in a worldwide interactive maps app.

Every mountain, building and tree shadow mapped for any date and time2024 · shademap.app · ▲685I've been working on this project for about 4 years. It began as terrain only because world wide elevation data was publicly available. I then added buildings from OpenStreetMap (crowd sourced) and more recently from Overture Maps data. Some computer vision/machine learning advancements [1] in the past few years have made it possible to estimate tree canopy heights using satellite imagery alone making it possible to finally add trees to the map. The data isn't perfect, but it's within +/- 3 meters of so. Good enough to give a general idea for any location on Earth. Happy to answer…
