      Hello!
      I'm using this fantastic application for photography.

      One very useful feature for us would be to know where the apparent horizon is on the map based on our location.

      It would involve adding an "Horizon" option in the "Display on map" section that, when activated, shows a circle indicating the apparent horizon calculated based on our GPS location (and possibly altitude derived from the map?). This would allow us to determine if the horizon will be obstructed by clouds at sunrise and sunset.

      Ideally, this horizon would be calculated for four points: 1) our position 2) base of low clouds 3) base of mid-level clouds 4) base of high clouds.

      I hope (in fact, we hope!) that this feature can be taken into consideration!

      Thank you.

      Francesco

        @francescogola Hi there, thank you for your suggestion and idea. I am not sure this will be interesting enough to work on this, but we can consider this in future.
