Understanding sun exposure during travel and how Sit In Shade helps you find the perfect seat every time.
Prolonged sun exposure during road trips and commutes can cause discomfort, overheating, and UV damage. Choosing the right seat can make a significant difference in your travel comfort and health.
Sit In Shade analyzes your entire route using solar position algorithms and road orientation data to calculate exactly how much sun hits each side of the vehicle throughout your journey.
Based on the sun's position relative to your travel direction at each point along the route, we recommend the side with the least cumulative sun exposure — left or right.
Type your starting point and destination in the search fields above. You can also tap the map to place markers or use your current location.
Select when you'll be traveling. The sun's position changes throughout the day and year, so this is crucial for accurate results.
Hit "Find Best Seat" and we'll analyze every segment of your route, showing you the percentage of sun exposure on each side and the best seat to pick.
Your route is color-coded: orange for sun on the left, blue for sun on the right, and grey for no sun. See exactly where the sun will hit.
