<p>Please could someone advise the best method of finding the solar noon based on location?</p>

<p>The stuff on here has been helpful but I can't figure out what I should be finding out!

Wolfram Alpha is perfect for these sorts of queries (if you don't want to calculate it yourself from scratch). Example: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=solar+noon+in+washington

Maybe I should have said, the reason I want a formula is that i'm making a program that gets the users sunset and sunrise times and I want to incorporate solar noon times for better accuracy.

This is a pretty handy source: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/782886.html. I think you latitude on the Earth's surface will only affect how high in altitude the sun gets at local solar noon.
