Halfstop: Field Atlas

Halfstop, LLC

About this app

Halfstop is a field atlas for photographers. Scout a location, drop a pin, and know exactly when the sun, the moon or the aurora will be where you need it.
TIME THE LIGHT
• Sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, moonrise and moonset for any pin
• Eclipse paths across the map
KNOW THE GROUND
• USGS topographic quads, aerial imagery, hillshade and contours
• National forest, BLM, state land, wilderness and park boundaries
• Forest road numbers and drone ceilings
PIN IT
• Save waypoints into folders by trip, by season, or by the light they need
• Search for a place by name, from OpenStreetMap
• Open GPX, KML, KMZ and GeoJSON files - including your Google Maps starred places and saved lists, from Google Takeout
• Export any folder as GPX or GeoJSON whenever you like, free, with or without an account
• Sync up to 100 folders and 100 waypoints between your phone and your computer, free
PREMIUM
For the parts that cost us money every time they are used:
• Syncing any number of folders between your phone and your computer
• Inviting others to view a folder or work on it with you
• Search that also finds businesses and street addresses, from Mapbox
• Offline map downloads, for when the bars run out
• Weather layers: cloud cover, fog, snow and storm tracks
• Trip planning with road routing
• Photographs kept with a waypoint
• State-level detail maps and extra basemaps

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Maps are for planning. Carry a paper map where it matters, and use your own judgement in front of the actual ground.
