Apple 145 manual Setting your location, 263

Appendix C

Map

The Map control panel lets you set your computer’s location and find out the distance and the time difference between your location and cities around the world. If you travel with your computer and use Map to reset your location accordingly, the time (in the Date & Time control panel) is automatically reset to the local time.

Certain programs (in networking and telecommunications, for example) can use your computer’s location to account for time zones and distances when making calculations.

Setting your location

1.Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the Map control panel.

To magnify the map in the control panel (showing less of the world at a larger scale), hold down the Option key while you open Map.
