24 Month Calendar Report

All new Calendar Report which allows you to view and print yearly calendars for any two consecutive years (available to Standard users only). An example is shown below for the years 2003 and 2004.

 

 World Location Position

A globe icon has been added to the Location tab which allows you to toggle between viewing the existing map of world time zones or the position of the currently chosen home location on the world map with the current sundial view. When any location from the Anno Domini database is chosen, you will see that location highlighted on the map as below for London, United Kingdom.

        

 Compass position

A new compass button has been added which will show in real-time the exact latitude and longitude of the mouse pointer on the world map.

The button acts as a toggle. When depressed, the mouse position is automatically updated in the bottom left-hand corner of the window. When the button is up, the current position is not shown. 

You can store whether the program defaults to showing the compass position or not by clicking on the "Save Settings" button from the Preference tab when you have first chosen your preferred setting.

You can now pinpoint each of your 8 chosen locations on top of the sundial view as per the example below.
