If the railway path and estimated time are openly available, Certainly, it can be implemented.
I think you used standard bus route search with JFK and Heathrow. OpenStreetMap suggests Lisbon since the departure and destination are on different continents, providing a route in close proximity to the destination with access to the sea.

If you prefer the flight path, you can visit dev.sitinshade.com/flight [beta].

It considers the bus's movement, orientation and the changes in time.
Calculation based on azimuth of bus and sun considering change in time and movement of bus.
Backend: Node.js Calculations are performed based on the azimuth of the sun and the bus, taking into account the movement of the bus and change in time.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Time selection relies on the default settings of the browser/system.

The hard part was obtaining information such as solar azimuth, altitude, declination, hour angle, etc without using external APIs. Spent around 5 days implementing backend.
Yes,OpenStreetMap has
Thanks for the suggestion. That would be a great addition.
Currently OpenStreetMap routing API, would have to be replaced with the Google Maps Transit API.
Currently building for flights too. beta version - https://dev.sitinshade.com/flight
I have a beta version for flight at https://dev.sitinshade.com/flight

Search based on the destination and departure airport. Please note that it is still in beta, so there may be some issues.

Currently, manual entry of flight duration is required.

Working on flight duration estimation, scenic side, and movie recommendations based on flight duration : - )

Thanks
Currently, it uses OpenStreetMap routing.Planning to change to the Google Maps Routing API.
