Does pretty much the same thing bit will also calculate the info based on your current location via GPS. If you’ve got an iPhone, check out an app called Darkness.

It gives all the same numerical data. There is no map and there is the added step of setting the time to sunset to get this angle as it gives angles during the whole sun track. I like the palm because its easy to carry, long battery life and I also have the program for calculating DOF for any CoC and focal length/f-stop Niels Henriksen I use a similar program “Solaris II” on my Palm pilot.

I've used Stellarium before, but it's focus is more on star gazing, and as a result, it's a lot more effort to determine the sunset and sunrise angles... However, the Photographer's Ephemeris provides an easy-to-use interface with the directions overlayed over the top of Google Maps, which will definitely be handy!
