<html><body><b><font color="white"><u>Compass Calibration:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>It's important to make sure the device's sensors are calibrated.  Choose <font color="white">Calibration</font> from the Main Menu to calibrate.

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Choosing a Location:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>Select a location source by tapping the location icon in the top right corner of the interface.  Use the following menu choices:
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><font color="white">GPS</font></b> - Obtains a fix on your current location by way of both Network and GPS sources, if available and enabled.  This will get the fastest fix it can in the interest of preserving battery life, and once it obtains a fix, will stop using the GPS/Network radios. Switch the "Quick Location Fix" setting to OFF to obtain a more accurate, but slower fix.
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><font color="white">Search</font></b> - Search for a location.
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><font color="white">Enter</font></b> - Enter coordinates in DDD format (ex. 40.475545, -79.930188 which is a location in North America)
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><font color="white">Open / Save</font></b> - Facility to save, load, and export previously saved locations

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Reading the Compass Overlay:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Green Pin (3D Compass, Map)</font> - represents you in relation to the other elements
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Green Reticle (Live View)</font> - represents the target Bearing and Altitude
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Colored Lines</font> - represent the angles of various Sun and Moon events
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Yellow Sunrise to Sunset Arc</font> - a visual representation of the day's length
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Bearing Text [xxx&deg; mag/true: (yy&deg;)]</font> - the bearing where the device is pointed; mag/true indicating that azimuth values are expressed relative to either Magnetic or True North; (yy&deg;) is the magnetic declination
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="white">Path Hour Text [xx h]</font> - the hour when the Sun or Moon will be at that location on the Sun or Moon path

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Reading the Legend:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xxx</font>] - Item/event name
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xx:xx pm</font>] - Event time (for rises/sets)
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xxx&deg;</font>] - Azimuth (bearing from North)
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xxx&deg;</font>] - Altitude angle (if applicable; 0&deg; is the horizon, 90&deg; is directly overhead)
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xx.x:1</font>] - Sun Shadow Ratio (Shadow length proportional to height; 0 when Sun is directly overhead or below the horizon, gets longer the nearer the sun is to the horizon)
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<font color="white">xx%+</font>] - Moon illumination percentage, "+" = Waxing, "-" = Waning

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Time Machine Slider:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- The Slider is Sun Surveyor's main point of interaction.
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Set the Slider Span to either One Day, One Hour, or One Year using the button to its left.
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Slide it to adjust the time within the selected span and watch the Sun and Moon items move throughout the span.

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Offline Usage:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><font color="white">Sun Surveyor</font></b> can be used offline in the 3D Compass, Live View and Ephemeris Modules - if you know the coordinates (Latitude, Longitude and optional Altitude) of your selected location, from the <font color="white">Location</font> menu, choose <font color="white">Enter Coordinates</font> to enter them
 and all calculations and predictions will be performed, no data connection or GPS is required.
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alternatively, save locations in advance and open them from the Location menu when necessary - most calculations will be suitable within a reasonable vicinity of a given city or region.

<br/><br/><b><font color="white"><u>Other Tips:</u></font></b>
<br/><br/><font color="white">There are many interesting things to do with this application.  Here's a few ideas:</font>

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">Send Details, Screenshots:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Use the Share action from the Menu to send location and event details via email, SMS, etc

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">Time Zone Detection:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Auto-Detect (default): Uses external web services to determine the Time Zone. Useful for Map View and for information about remote locations.
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Local: uses the time zone from your device.
<!--When unavailable, uses an internal database (no network calls, possibly less accurate) to attempt to detect the time zone for the selected location.-->
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Manual: select from a list of time zones from around the world.

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">Import/Export Locations:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Google Earth .kml/.kmz files with placemarks can be imported from email, Dropbox, etc
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Export all locations (.kml) from the saved locations screen
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Export an individual location (.kml) by sharing a screenshot, details, or from the location edit screen

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">3D Compass &amp; Live View:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Select "One Year" as the slider span, and move the slider to observe the Sunrise and Sunset angles change - find the perfect day to shoot!
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- With "One Year" as the slider span, set the Time to sometime after Sunset, and move the slider find a date in the year when the Moon path is low in the sky and in a desired phase for compositions featuring the Moon

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">Live View:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- NOTE: the device's compass is not a precision instrument; there may be sensor drift and bearing and elevation may be off by a few degrees
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Point the green reticle to a position and move the slider to determine when the Sun or Moon will be at that position
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Move the device around to trace the Sun and Moon paths through the sky and along the horizon

<br/><br/><b><font color="white">Map:</font></b>
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Dragging the map will use the location at the center of the map
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Save your favorite locations, and icons for them will appear on the map - clicking will select them
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Zoom out, and move around the map to observe the day length and sun and moon paths change in interesting parts of the world, such as near the Equator and the North and South poles
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Select an interesting location on the Map, and switch to the 3D Compass to get a 3D perspective of the Sun and Moon at that location
<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- When available, view Street View panoramas for the selected map location

<br/><br/><font color="white">Note:</font> All values and calculations are approximate and can't be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.  Mobile device compasses are not always precise and reliable; keep this in mind for critical usage.
