Title: switch to night mode automatically
Post by: mambofive on October 13, 2011, 09:35:39
Hi menion,

I learned that you do not want the app to do to much things automatically  ;) , but what about switching to night mode automatically?
I tested the navigation feature on some longer car rides - cool feature, works perfectly! But I can't switch to night mode while driving, an automatic switch would be fine here.

There are lot's of sources in the web dealing with computing sunrise/sunset times, maybe this one could be used online:

They offer a web service which returns an xml with some useful inormation:
http://www.earthtools.org/sun/ (http://www.earthtools.org/sun/)<latitude>/<longitude>/<day>/<month>/<timezone>/<dst>

Regards,
 Elmar / mambofive.
