sky·lbs — a pocket lab of location-based services.
No accounts. No tracking. Your location never leaves this page except to the public APIs listed below.

01 · Where am I?

Browser geolocation (GPS/Wi-Fi) with an IP-based fallback — the bread and butter of every LBS app.

02 · What's above me?

The ISS is the brightest artificial object in the sky and a classic LBS target — live position via wheretheiss.at.

03 · Sun clock

Sunrise, sunset and day length for any position — computed from your coordinates via sunrise-sunset.org.

Locate yourself first (tool 01), or the button stays asleep.

04 · How far?

Great-circle distance between two points (haversine) — the math under every "nearby" feature.

—enter both points

05 · Geohash

The elegant location-indexing trick behind Redis, MongoDB and countless LBS databases: every point on Earth becomes one short string.

A completely unnecessary recommendation
Think SkyLBS is a little too accurate?
