Light Pollution Map is the work of more than 1,000 combined hours of mapping the globe for the most accurate light pollution data available, anywhere. Better than free solutions found online, and conveniently installed on your Android device integrated with Google Maps and GPS technology.

In the newest version you will find features not found on any other light pollution map – the option to toggle a cloud cover overlay* which allows you to find the clearest skies at night, and a feature that allows you to place a horizon safe radius circle on the map to avoid light pollution on the horizon from nearby cities.

The map automatically locates you via GPS, and you can find locations with an easy search. Or just look around the map! It’s easy to save your favorite dark sites, just push and hold a spot on the map and click the save button. Is the light pollution map overlay too much? You can adjust the opacity to your liking! The map also features an easy to use legend, so you can be sure you are getting the darkest skies possible for star gazing or night time photography. Note: Legend only matches colors on 100% opacity setting.

“Light Pollution Map has really helped me to find the darkest locations in my region for night time photography. It’s quick and simple to find and save the locations, and the accuracy is better than any other dark site finder I’ve found. Without it, I would never be able to capture such amazing images of the milky way.” – Gregory A. Dunbar, EarthThroughTheLens.com

Also included is information on the Moon, such as the Moon’s phase, moonrise time, and moonset time! And guess what? That moon information is not only good for the current day, but any day in the future!

Note: Light Pollution Map loads data online. Internet connection or wifi is required, and we are not responsible for any data usage chargers from your provider.
