Hi everyone! 👋
I'm developing SunTrail 3D, an Android app designed for those who want to master their timing in the mountains. Unlike traditional mapping apps, SunTrail features a high-precision solar simulation engine with full terrain analysis.
☀️ Pro Solar Analysis (The heart of the app)
- Real-time Cast Shadows: See shadows from peaks and forests 🌲 projected onto your path in real-time.
- 24h Timeline: Slide the cursor to know exactly when a couloir gets the sun or when your bivouac will be in the shade.
- Precise Stats: Sunrise/Sunset times at your exact location (to the minute), total sunshine duration for your route, and an "optimal departure time" score.
🏔️ Other Power Features
- 3D Route Planner: Drop waypoints in 3D; the app automatically calculates the route, elevation profile, and solar exposure for the entire trip.
- "Unstoppable" GPS: A brand-new engine (v5.53) that survives Android "app kills." Your recording never stops, even if the OS tries to save battery.
- Alpine Safety: HD slope maps (latitude-corrected), digital inclinometer, and mountain safety alerts.
- Worldwide 3D Maps: Includes high-res SwissTopo (Switzerland), IGN (France), and OpenTopoMap for the rest of the world.
🎁 In exchange for your feedback (simple form):
- 20-minute quick test = 3 months of Pro for free.
- One real hike with the app = 1 YEAR of Pro for free.
Interested? Send me your Google Play email address via DM, and I’ll add you to the testing program immediately! (This is a technical requirement from Google Play for "Closed Testing").
