Sun Compass & Sunrise/Sunset V3.4 (for Palm-Pilots with OS Version 2.X and 3.X)
If you've Palm-Pilot OS1.0, please use the older Version 2.4!
(It's to download from my Homepage)
Attention: If you're using a Palm III Color please install the "SC-V34color.prc"

Please, also read the text in the sun-compass pulldown menu.


 

Were is the NORTH ???
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this program you can simply determine the NORTH-DIRECTION.
You only need your Pilot and the sun!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


How to practice?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn your Pilot in direction to the sun, but hold your Pilot horizontal.
Now, you can read the North-Direction on the screen !
The Pilot is calculating the North-Direction every minute automaticly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Polar-Star:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the Pulldown-Menu and choose Polar-Star.
Here you'll see, how to get NORTH, by searching the "great dipper".
With the "great dipper" you can find the Polar-Star.
Note: Have you got the Polar-Star, then you've got NORTH!
The Polarstar you'll only see on the northern hemisphere!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What is new in Version 3.4 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: All the changes in V3.4 are only visible in the registered version!!!

Sunset&sunrise is also visible on the compass-screen. (Upper left corner)
The first angle in the upper right corner displays the angle where the sun
is to find. (normal compass direction)
The second angle in the upper right corner displays the altitude angle of
the sun. (a negative value means that the sun is under the horizont)
The UP-Key shows the polarstar.
The DOWN-key shows the sun-angles.
A second tap on the DOWN-key toggles between real azimuth-angle (0-359 deg.)
and normal azimuth-angle (south-xxx deg.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was new in Version 3.3 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have changed to normal Sunrise and Sunset Times.
That means if sun is a half degree under the horizont!
I made this on request of some other people!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was new in Version 3.2 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you tap on the date-area or time-area at the bottom of the screen,
you can change the date and the time.
Each restart of sun-compass will reset the time to the current time, or you
simply select it again and tap on the OK-Button (without any select) !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What was new in Version 3.1 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you tap on the date-area at the bottom of the screen, you can change
the date. Now, you can see all values (sunrise/set & sunangles) specific for
this new choosen date!
Each restart of sun-compass will reset the date to the current date!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What was new in Version 3.0 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Version is now working 100% accurate. Why?
Now,I've used a complex and voluminous formula. This formula calculates the
following variables:

1. Declination
2. Equation of Sun
3. Local Solar Time
4. Hour Angle
5. Altitude Angle
6. Azimuth Angle <--- I use this angle to calculate the NORTH-direction exact!
7. Time of Sunrise
8. Time of Sunset

These variables you can see, if you tap on the Sun-Info-Graphic-Button!

I have to calculate with functions like (sin,asin,cos,acos...), so this prog
needs the MATHLIB.PRC file! Don't forget to load it before you start Sun-Comp

Before you begin, you have to input the following values:
Longitude (Lo-Field), Latitude (La-Field), Timezone  (Tz-Field),
Daylight-Saving Time (Graphic-Button). That's all.

Please, also read the instruction within the sun-compass programm via
the pulldown-menu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
