Using sunrise and sunset azimuths that are easily available, you can determine how a location will light anytime of the year and plan your photo trips accordingly.

On days where the moon will be a focus of my photography, I supplement it with a PC-based Heavenly-Opportunity shareware program (http://ho.fossilcreeksoft.com/) which provides azimuth and altitude information in degrees for the entire day (print it out). If I am trying to get a shot of the moon rising over a hill or ridge, for example, I can determine the time and azimuth it will rise at that particular altitude (you need to use a compass with a clinometer).
