Hi Folks,
HelioStat, a program for the BlackBerry Smartphone, allows you to determine
the time and location of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and lunar
phase on your BlackBerry for any date and location you specify.
HelioStat includes the following features:
- Provides both the time, and azimuth of sunrise and sunset.
- Provides the time of civil, nautical and astronomical dawn and twilight.
- Provides the current location of the sun in azimuth and elevation.
- Allows time shifting to predict or anticipate the location of the sun at any date and time.
- Provides both the time, and azimuth of moonrise and moonset.
- Provides the phase of the moon.
- A compiled list of nearly 250 North American and World Cities.
- When available, HelioStat use your smartphone's GPS information.
- Keeps track of your last used location for quick recall, or...
- Keeps track user supplied coordinates
- Works independently of cellular data networks.
With Version 1.3, you can now use the horizontal motion of the trackball,
touchscreen "swipe" gestures or the keyboard to time shift through the day,
showing the new location of the sun in azimuth and elevation.
Supported keyboard shortcuts: capital A, S, D make time shift backwards,
while capital J, K, and L shift time forwards. Capital C, U, and R signal
"Calculate", "GPS Update", and "Reset time" respectively. Lower case
letters remain available to use search through the Location choice selector.
An options screen now allows you to customize what is displayed on the main
screen, and control other aspects of the user interface.
There are versions for OS 4.2.1 or later, and an OS 4.7 version for the Storm.
