The use of keyboard and mouse it’s faster than touching the screen, even you can use also your fingers to control the app.

Does it work for my country/city/place?
Yes. The Photographer’s Assistant works anywhere on the Earth.
Are accurate the calculations?
Yes. Inner app calculations are accurate up to 0.1º (often up to 0.01º, more than enough for any kind of landscape photography). External data providers as BingMaps could affect to the accuracy of the map and altitude.
