information about summer times, refer to ‘Setting summer
time’ later.

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.
