Night mode - plan astro photography shoots (constellations, Milky Way, etc.)
Line-of-sight analysis - defines your shooting direction and shows the topography along your shooting direction
Visual search - tells you the exact dates and times when sun or moon will align with your subject
Maps - view different map types such as Apple or Google Maps
