[SEDXC] FW: Looking for day/night earth view

[Victor Wasilov]

Dave:

Not sure but GeoClock may meet your needs. The URL is:    http://home.att.net/~geoclock/
GeoClock shows the current time (based on your computer's clock) with a 

high quality map of the earth.  The current sun position is displayed, 

and the parts of the earth in sunlight and twilight are highlighted. 

This display is automatically updated every few seconds.  Local sunrise, 

sunset, the sun's azimuth and elevation, and times around the world are 

also displayed.  A variety of map backgrounds and other options are 

available.



GeoClock is distributed as shareware. With registration you get the 

latest versions of the programs, 45 maps, zoom, distance measuring, 

local time displayed next to the city names, and immediate map display. 

GeoClock comes in DOS and Windows versions, and both are included 

with registration.  The Windows version works with Win3.1x, WFW, Win9x, 

WinME and WinXP.  The Windows version also includes Screen Saver and 

Wallpaper modes.
An add-in package to GeoClock (both DOS and Windows) is available
to provide special functions for HAM radio operators.  It provides
graphical display of remote station location, propagation path, and D
and F layer illumination, together with key location, pointing, distance,
and time data.  The package includes a custom Azimuthal-Equidistant map
centered on your HAM station, a call sign data base, and utility programs.

This package REQUIRES a registered copy of GeoClock.


The HAM functions include:


*Azimuthal-Equidistant (Great Circle) map centered on your station

*Twilight and terminator, or D and F layer illumination, display

*User Maintainable call sign data base

*Remote station location

*Short and long great circle path

*Short and long path azimuth and range

*Remote station (reciprocal) azimuth

*UTC, local, and remote station local time

*DXCC and WAE designations

*CQ and ITU zones

*Continent, area, and location names

*optional use of QRZ CD-ROM for US call signs.
