An NYC walking router that finds the shadiest path to get to your destination. You select shade priority to increase shade on your route by taking small detours.
It scores every block's shadiness using NYC Open Data's tree records and building heights, with each building's shadow computed from the sun's angle, then routes over OpenStreetMap's sidewalk network.
