Yes. The bridge uses zip codes to determine sunrise/sunset times, and these can be used to trigger or govern events. For example, outdoor PIR-actuated lights can be configured to turn on only after sunset.

No, but you can search the Internet and find code that others have made available. Try Online Calculators and Sky & Telescope -- follow the Resources link. I got my algorithms from a book, "Astronomical Algorithms" by Jean Meeus, ISBN 0-943396-35-2, published by Willmann-Bell Inc. He also has a book "Astronomical Formula for Calculators" that is probably better for programmers. You can order them at a real bookstore or online.

The most popular places to see sunrise are: Dante's View, Zabriskie Point, and the sand dunes. Sunset locations also include Zabriskie Point and the sand dunes, but Artist's Palette and Aguereberry Point are also very good.

The general rule is an hour before sunset for a simple wedding, with one hour of photography. This takes advantage of the flattering and diffused lighting conditions. In the tropics, there is very little twilight and once the sun sets, it soon gets dark. Therefore, the time of your wedding really depends on the number of guests in your party and how long you expect your photo-taking to last.

Not necessarily. Nearly all viewpoints face east and offer spectacular views of the canyons bathed in morning's rich, dramatic light. The two most popular viewpoints for sunrise are Sunrise Point and Bryce Point. For sunset, pick your favorite overlook (we recommend Inspiration Point or Paria View) and plan to arrive 1½ hours before sunset for the best lighting.

For a table of sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset for any place in North America go this site with Sun/Moon calculations at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html.

Calm to light winds are the most desirable for a balloon flight. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. The winds are lightest when the sun is rising (Earth is just starting to warm) or setting (Earth has already started to cool). A balloon flight revolves around Mother Nature and we don't like to test her limits. PLEASE be on time for your flight since it is very important that we take off as scheduled.

Many standard sources of sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset are for particular locations, such as Central Park, in New York City. The times listed are only valid for that location. MES can calculate the precise time of these astronomical events for your specific location. In addition MES can also provide the times of the beginning and ending of civil twilight, as well as the location of the sun, if required.

Environment Canada is not an official source for this data, however as a courtesy, approximations for sunrise and sunset are available on the city forecast page nearest your location. Official times for sunrise and sunset can be found on the Web site of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics of the National Research Council of Canada. Web site options for calculating moonrise/moonset include: Timeanddate.com or the U.S. Naval Observatory site.

The Sunrise/Sunset screen does not automatically use your current deafault location. To select the city that you wish to see the sunrise / sunset times for tap the stylus onto the screen where it says FN and the Islamic Research Centre. This will bring up the city selection list. Scroll through the options using the scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen. Select the city of your choice by tapping the stylus onto the city name.

I currently use Astro Info, which I downloaded a few years ago, but I'm not sure it's available now. In any case, I do not intend to adapt my sunrise/sunset program to the Palm Pilot.
