About 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.

System Requirements

The DOS version requires a VGA and 640K, and will run on an 8088. However, we recommend at least a 386SX/25 for satisfactory performance. The Spinning Globe program runs best under DOS with at least 4 MB Extended/Expanded Memory and a 486/25

The Windows version requires a VGA and 4 MB, but we recommend at least 800x600x256 display and a 486/66. It will run on both Win3.x and Win9x/ME/XP.

We do not have versions for any other platforms.

Packages

GeoClock comes in a basic version and a professional version, and both are available with a HAM radio add-in package.

GeoClock-Pro includes both the registered DOS and Windows versions of GeoClock, plus more than 500 maps covering each US state, Canadian province, and world country, plus about 150 city level maps, and a variety of larger scale maps, the spinning globe program, about 100 extra maps (these are unsupported and may be of unique interest, but are included just because some people want everything), and a variety of utility programs to customize GeoClock data bases. It is distributed on CD, or can be downloaded.

The GeoClock basic includes both the registered DOS and Windows versions of GeoClock, plus 45 maps covering the world at a larger scale. It is distributed on CD, 3.5 inch floppy disks, or can be downloaded.

A HAM radio package is available as an add-in to either package. It is distributed on 3.5 inch floppy disks or can be downloaded, or included on CD if the basic or Pro package on CD is ordered at the same time.

ACE-HF

ACE-HF (Animated Communications Effectiveness, High Frequency) is a new product based on the proven VOACAP program with a new interface and display routines based on GeoClock. Click the icon to read more about ACE-HF.

This file contains the latest version of the GeoClock time zone table.

This is special update of the GEOZONES.DAT file, to include Summer time in Bangladesh. It also includes updates for current daylight saving time (summer time) dates, mainly in North America and Europe.

The main news is that Argentina had daylight saving time in their 2008/2009 summer season -- sort of. DST was actually introduced on December 30, 2007, for an 11-week season, while I was not looking. (Sorry about that.) Many states in Argentina have announced that they will not go along with the DST schedule. Buenos Aires and vicinity will have DST, from October 19, 2008 to March 16, 2009.


You should be sure you have GeoClock 8.4 or higher.
You should download this periodically to ensure you have up to date time zone data.

This intermediate version of the GEOCKWIN.EXE which seems to solve some stopping problems and clock problems on ME, XP, NT5, and 2000, and changes to the internal ZIP data base for Indiana. It includes only the EXE and HLP files, so you will need all the other GeoClock files to test it. It is little different from BETA84B. Please advise results. See FAQ.
