Adding a town or city

If a place you require is not included in the Map view, you can add it:

1.Select the Add city command from the Edit menu.

2.Type the name of the city, its country, the latitude and longitude if known (this allows accurate distances and sunrise and sunset times to be calculated), the telephone area code, the GMT offset, and ‘Summer time zone’ (see ‘Setting summer time’ later in the chapter).

3.Position the intersection of the cross hairs on the town or city location, using the pen or the arrow keys.

You can select the command from the Edit menu to subsequently change any of the city details.

You can only delete a non-capital city that you have added to the map yourself. To do this, select it at the bottom of the screen and then select the appropriate command from the Edit menu.
