Time Bar

The Time Bar shows the approximate time for longitudes around the world. The Time Bar is located at the very top of the screen, and on a colour display is drawn in pink and orange.

The numbers in the time bar show the approximate time in hours for that location on the map. These numbers are based upon a time zone in which local noon occurs at 12pm. Where a country has daylight savings time in effect or a particularly inappropriate time zone, its time will differ from that in the time bar. To find the accurate time at a location simply tap it on the map.

When different parts of the world are in different days, times in the newer day will show on a pink background and times in the older day will show on an orange background. Tapping the time bar will either bring up the menu bar or show the current date as specified under Interface Options.
