    What do you use to see what time the actual sunrise and sunset is?

    My Rand GPS had this feature on it, but it met the end of its life today, unexpectedly. So I replaced it with a Garmin and it doesn't seem to have this feature.

    I have an Accuweather app on my phone, and this app doesn't always work the way it is supposed to, so it is not something that I want to rely on.

    It may not be as accurate but I always have a calendar with the sunrise and set on it. But I also make notes about different things on it to cause its easy to refer back to if asked about that event.

    About 2 hrs after the roosters wake you up. Look west for the red sky at night

    This book can be found at a good amount of the larger truck stops, or here http://showcase.netins.net/web/directory/book.html
    It has sunrise/sunset charts for every sate in it. It's not as convenient as a GPS or an app as far as pinpoint accuracy goes, but it's what us heavy haulers have relied on for years before we got all hi tech.
    Weatherbug app, I believe it is both Apple & Droid available, also has it for your location.

    I ask Siri. Probably the only time I use it on my iPhone besides texting and driving.

    Siri will answer if you have a Bluetooth so you can use her hands free lol. She brings a whole new level to what you can do while driving. I normaly use my rand mc gps tho

    I have the WeatherBug app also and it is set for my home town, just did a little playing around with it and it can also use my location at the same time. I didn't even know that this app gave the sunrise/sunset times until now.
