DXView presents a world map, upon which beam headings, stations you spot, the sun's position, and the solar terminator are continuously displayed.  A PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, or 8 is required; both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Windows are supported.  DXView is free, and contains no advertising.
