For a while I was using a method for predicting Moon and Sun positions similar to what Andre Gunther explained in his great tutorial Predict the moon for better photos. Before Google Earth I was using maps, compass and using The Sun/Moon Calculator or the Australian ones from Geoscience Australia Geodesy & GPS - Astronomical Information.
But now we've got absolutely fantastic tool from Stephen Trainor - "The Photographer's Ephemeris". It uses Google Earth maps and shows sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset azimuth on maps, twilight times etc. You can also search and save your favorite locations for future use. It's cross-platform (uses Adobe AIR) and it's free! Must have software for every outdoor photographer!
