Day/Night World Map

jstewart · 05-05-03, 09:27 AM

I am still waiting for my Axim to arrive. On an old PDA I had a utility that displayed a world map and showed where it was day and night is there a utility like that for the Axim?

Worldmate does this. Do a search for it at Pocketgear.com

Thank You! Once again this site proves it is invaluable. I will probablly have a line on everything I need by the time my Axim arrives. I think they are waiting to ship mine with Windows 2005

I use CityTime. It also has a Today screen plug-in that I find useful

I would say CityTime also. There's a demo you can try, or buy it if you like it. You can find it at:

It seems that there is an introductory offer for GeoKron @$9.99. It seems very similar to CityTime. (To me they look like they are the same just that GeoKron is cheaper.) I checked the features for GeoKron at their preview site and checked CityTime's features at the link that CSharpMajor provided and I would go for GeoKron.

CityTime's Other features include:

Sunrise and sunset times
Moonrise, moonset and phase times
Airport codes and dialing codes listing for all cities

Having purchased both Geokron and CityTime, I still think that CityTime has a few advantages over Geokron. One feature that isn't often mentioned is that CityTime incorporates into Pocket Informant via a plug in in PI. This allows you to create Flight Appointments for CityTime right in PI. Great feature for all us Pocket Informant users :D

For those that have these I have a question ... Do either of these have a selection to show time for either:

Kwajalein, Marshall Islands
Majuro, Marshall Islands

I used to live on Kwaj and still have friends there ... would be nice to see the time before I call over their without haveing to try remembering the time difference ...

Now this is one feature I didn't see. I can really use this one. :)

Worldmate allows you to enter your own city. You would just enter the GMT time difference and you're set.

I think my wife and I will take our first cruise this summer. I already have my Ax and my GPS. Are any of these world maps GPS compatible? I would certainly want to know right away if the boat were hijacked.

You might want to look at Pocket Earth. It has a much more extensive city data base. I use it to find the lat/long for cities that I want to add to CityTime.
