aTimeMap is a plug-in tool of aClock. Before using aTimeMap, you have to install aClock into your Palm. To get the information about aClock, please visit http://www.a0soft.com. Once you have installed aClock, you can then invoke aTimeMap from the aClock main window as shown below. You can tap the return icon or the Return to aClock menu item for returning to the aClock application.
If the aTimeMap main program is stored on the memory expansion card (SD card), aClock will import this program into the main memory if you invoke aTimeMap from aClock. This copied main program won't be deleted from the main memory until it returns to the aClock application.
aTimeMap gets the default home city and world cities names from aClock when you invoke aTimeMap for the first time. If you would like to change the display world cities or customize the colors, you can do that with the Options->City Setting... menu. Please refer to the City Setting section for details about this command. After you have finished the city settings, you can move the time box anywhere by pressing and dragging the time box.
For each world city, aTimeMap shows a small square box to mark the location of city, a time box that shows the local time and city name, and a link that connects the mark and time box. You can tap the [M], [L] or [N] button to show or hide related objects. If you want to hide individual cities, please do that via the City Setting... form. The following diagrams show the visual effects if the [N], [L] or [M] options are selected individually.
You can invoke the City Setting form with the Options->City Setting... menu command. This form can also be invoked by tapping the world map and holding it or about 2 seconds. A pop-up menu will be shown and you can find the City Setting... menu there. For the functions of this form, please refer to the diagram below for details.
Tapping the check icon if you don't want to show the time box of this city on the world map. It's useful if you don't want to show so many time boxes on the screen. If you would like to change the display city, you can tap the city name and aTimeMap will invoke a city list for you to choose a world city. For the functions of this city list form, please refer to the aClock user manual for details.
aTimeMap not only enables you to choose a world city from the city list but also enables you to choose a city from the world map. The following diagram shows you an example about how to choose Mashhad,Iran city from the world map.

For your convenience, aTimeMap also enables you to temporarily change the time display format by the Options->12h<->24h menu command.
