Sponge Bob

Mind , its so bleedin handy for answering common questions that its a no brainer (as long as the OP can double click on the map properly )

why did you link this and not this , on this wiki page

The google map , to me, is part of its appeal because posters do not always tell us where they are do they ??

I found this one the best of the lot. Not as pretty, but shows you the time of day (and date) when the sun/moon are in the position you're looking for, so you don't even need a compass.

Not really an issue as the range in the vertical axis is very small.

I'm under the impression you need to be within a degree (or two on a small dish) and this far north the sun elevation changes by over 20 degrees with season, I'm not sure of the figure.
