Google maps in the browser on desktop had a similar feature when you zoomed in enough to see building footprints. It showed shadows for current time of day, based on building height and -footprint.
I used it all the time, in the summers of 2014/2015 to pick places to have lunch at, that were in the sun, when I had a corporate job in the center of Berlin.
It stopped working/being displayed at some time, don't remember which year after it was.
I guess not many people knew about it and the discontinuation of it can be booked under "general enshittification of Google products".
