ActiveEarth 3.0
ActiveEarth 3.0 is a gorgeous desktop world clock that shows you the time, the weather and other information in cities around the world. Cities are displayed on a beautifully drawn world map, shaded to show night and day.
If you need to keep track of the time around the world then ActiveEarth 3.0 is an essential desktop tool. Its beautiful world map, displayed in a choice of three projections, shows you the cities around the world and whether they are in night or day. Point at any of the locations to see the current time there. The four corners can contain objects which may be clocks, a countdown timer, weather information, a shaded globe or the moon phase.
Below the map a row of clocks show the time in different cities of your choice. These clocks can be grouped so you can switch between a set showing the time where friends or family live, a set for overseas offices, financial centers or whatever. The lower panel may also show information such as time zone, sunrise and sunset times for a location, or the current weather information. ActiveEarth gives you plenty of choice to display the information you need in the way that is easiest and most convenient for you.
Useful tools include a time difference panel that shows the time at two locations, color coded so you can easily see when it is daytime at both places. If you need to plan a conference call then you can compare several locations to choose the most convenient time. The Time Calculator lets you calculate the difference between any two dates and times. The optional weather panel shows not only the current weather at any US zip code and around 40,000 international locations, but also a seven day forecast from AccuWeather.
Countdown timers show the time to go to an important meeting or anniversary. When the time is up the program can sound an alarm to remind you.
ActiveEarth offers a choice of digital or analog clocks in a number of different styles. Clocks can be configured to show different information such as just time, time and date, or time and weather information. The program may be purchased as a basic world time clock, or for a bit extra a world time clock and weather pack. You can also buy clock packs which add up to 24 stylish or novel clock faces.
ActiveEarth is not just a desktop application. You can use it as a screen saver and even set it as your desktop background. Whenever you need to see the time around the World, ActiveEarth puts that information at your fingertips.
