TravellersPoint has a great map making feature. Google MyMaps or Google Earth could also be good tools for creating a map. Google Earth in particular now supports "Tours" that you can record to show an animated path, even with narration and photos.

Google Earth can do this. Click on the Sun-icon and draw the slider around until you see the sun rising: Example is from Google Earth 6.0.3.2197. This is mainly suitable if you need only one place and time, not if you need full tables of many places and times. Also, of course, in mountainous areas the answer is extremely local, but no tool can give you ...

I used Tripline to show where I've been on recent trips. Again it's point A to B, but at least you can easily share it on Facebook or a Blog. For example, my 2010 South American journey map is embedded on my blog. They are in beta and seem to be adding new features fairly recently. I'd love them to add the ability to show two people travelling at once - ...

Indeed you can. Once again it's the Swiss Army knife of airline search engines matrix.itasoftware.com that comes to your rescue. While it won't allow you to restrict searches to a specific time, it does allow you to choose specific time windows, which in most cases if you order according in ascending/descending order on the results page will allow you to ...

Can I suggest Stellarium, which is a free planetarium program available for Mac OS, Windows and linux. For any date, time and geographical location, you can obtain sunrise time and position. To take account of mountains etc, there is the added option of including into Stellarium a horizon image. This will give you an idea of how mountains etc may affect ...

It's primary purpose is as an itinerary manager; once you sign up, you can forward flight, hotel, car rental etc. confirmation emails to them, and have it build these into a nice formatted itinerary for you. However, this also has the nice side effect that all old itineraries are retained. It will build statistics out of ...

The Photographer's Ephemeris is the one that I use. It's quite practical and is an Adobe Air application. I use it for the same reason that you mentioned and it hasn't failed yet no matter where I was. It's available for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android system, Windows and Mac. Desktop version are free but you do have to pay 5$ (Android) or 9$ (iOS) for ...

All these graphical tools are very nice, but you can simply go to Time and Date on the internet. There under Sun and Moon you can check for any time. For example, to see the November 2012 times for Vancouver. Another way is to look at the weather on Wunderground. For example, the forecast for Vancouver shows the sunrise and sunset times. Naturally this ...

Below are a list of the various tools I use. None of them will probably match exactly what you want, but the combination of will probably cover most of it - it does for me! FlightMemory and OpenFlights - These tools are both designed to achieve basically the same thing - tracking all of the flights you've taken. FlightMemory is older and whilst relatively ...
