The World screen
When you press the World button, you see a screen like this:
On the right-hand side of the World map, beneath the 'Home' heading, is a column of
information about the Home City:
• Sunrise and sunset times.
• A running clock, showing the current time.
• The day of the week, and the day of the month.
• The Home city and country names.
On the left-hand side of the World map, beneath the ' City' label, a similar column of
information is given about the currently displayed city, with the addition of an 'am' or
'pm' indicator beside the clock.
A flashing cursor marks the position of this city on the World map.
The cities which World knows about are stored alphabetically. The first time you use
World, the first city in the list is shown.
In the lower centre of the screen is the dial code to call the displayed city from your
home city. This is prefixed with a phone symbol.
Below the dial code is shown the distance between the two cities. This is calculated
using the stored longitude and latitude of both cities. The distance is shown in either
kilometres, miles or nautical miles
- use the 'Distance units' option on the 'Special'
menu to specify which measurement.
status window can be shown temporarily by pressing Psion-Menu. You cannot
display a status window permanently in World; Control-Menu has no effect.
Changing the formats of the clock
When you first use the World application, the time format will be am-pm and the clock
format will be analog. You can change the time format to 24 hour if you wish, with the
'Formats' option on the 'Set' menu in the Time application. (The 'Formats' option
also allows you to change other time and date formats.) You can change the clock
format if
you wish, with the relevant clock format option on World's 'Special' menu.
