It would be really useful as part of a complete VFR planning solution to have the facility to calculate sunrise and sunset times for your current GPS position and for other airports or locations, as can be done for example with Garmin 296. Formulae accurate to a minute or two (at least between -72 and +72 latitude) are freely downloadable from NOAA. For now I've coded them in MortScript as an add-on, but it would be a really useful addition to the product (at least for me as the pilot of a strictly Day VFR permit machine).

Hi Everyone

This gets my vote too. In the meantime, for those of you with an Android device, search Google Play (formerly Android Market) for an app called Sundroid. Using your device's built-in GPS, it will calculate sunrise and sunset for your current position, and you can save any number of locations, your home airfield for instance, for later recall. There's a free version so you can evaluate at no cost, but the paid for version is worth every penny.

Before SkyDemon came along I used AeroWeather for most of the weather related info, now I only really use it to get sunrise/sunset info. So this gets my vote also.
