Locator - Electronic directory of coordinates and time offsets. Galaxy.Locator astrological program

Locator - Directory of geographical coordinates and World Time Astrological program Locator (Galaxy.Locator) is designed to determine the geographical coordinates of settlements around the globe, and calculate time zone in these settlements taking into account the tables and time offsets from UTC.
Use of alternative time offset tables allows to determine the time zone with a great certainty. If there is difference between the alternative time offset tables, the program gives warning that different sources give different data. At the same time, it should be more careful in some or other time offset.
This astrological program is included in Galaxy - Astrological Tools astrological software package

Locator Algorithm and many search modes make it unique astrological software that has no analogues in the world.

  8. By given direction and distance: search for a city item that is in a given direction and distance from the specified coordinates within a certain radius.
Locator. Search If you select a city item by any means available and enter the date-time (or simulate input), so a city item is stored in the list of previously entered city items for the current session. While program operation has not been completed yet, you can quickly go back to one of 15 city items that you visited in 'Name starts with...' mode (quick search) by clicking 'Set previous item' The operational list is cleared when you exit the program. To save a city item for permanent use, you should add it to your favorites by clicking "Add to favorite city items"
Locator. Built-in mechanism which uses alternative time offset tables Built-in mechanism which uses alternative time offset tables can significantly reduce the likelihood of errors in the use of the wrong time offsets. If there is difference appeared in the time offsets for any city item, the program will report it, and an astrologer will accept one option and monitor Asc in horoscope
Locator. Time offset tables While operating Locator restores the time offset table by the rules stored in the program and gives the opportunity to an astrologer to assess the time changes relate to this settlement
Locator. Generation of a personal city item Generation of a personal city item. Here you can add, edit and delete your city items. This function allows to create a personal set of settlements which an astrologer uses in his work

Use of time tables in astrological programs
Each astrology program has a set of tables to determine the time offsets. Upon astrologer's request in the form of a city item and date-time it produces time offset from UTC.
The set may be relevant or not, right or wrong. An astrologer does not know about it. As a result, it is possible to use incorrect time offset.

Use of time tables in Galaxy astrology programs
Galaxy astrology programs have several sets of alternative tables to determine the time offsets. Upon astrologer's request in form of a city item and date-time it produces:
  • one time offset if all alternative tables show the same;
  • several time offsets if there are discrepancies in the time offset tables. At the same time a warning is issued
In Galaxy astrology programs the wrong time offset is unlikely for use.
