How to find your own sunny spot
- Open Brightside, move the map to the area you want to explore and tap the sun button.
- Choose Food & drinks and look for a café that still has sun after the estimated walk.
- Open the place details to check its sunlight window, or use the time slider on the 3D map to plan for later.
Where does shade move in San Francisco?
At the Ferry Building, compare a pin near the arcade with one on the open waterfront. Check the forecast too, especially if there’s fog or low cloud over the bay.
