There is no option to set a location by lat-long. Locations are not shown on the map in great enough detail to easily single out Kuhowi (Clingmans Some) - apparently the only way I can find that is BE THERE and use my GPS - makes it difficult to predict tomorrow's sunset

I use the app to see what time the sunrise will be but to be honest most of the time it says poor or fair and I haven't been impressed with the forecasts. Today it said Good for a change so I was excited, but I look out the window and it's just fog!

so far pretty accurate. The 46% fair prediction for a few nights ago when I headed off with my camera turned out to be exactly that. I did however manage to still get a few decent shots about half an hour after sunset when the bellies of the few scattered clouds started to light up in shades of burnt orange. All in all, a worthwhile outing!
