There is going to be a [Solar Eclipse on April 08 2024](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024).

I will need to travel to be in path of totality from California/Florida. I am trying to get a Android or iPhone App that can tell me if i have reached to a location where I can experience totality for at least one minute.
