World Map, the different views

The dominant feature of the Control Center is the world map. By default you can see the earth as it appears from space. The areas where there is night time are shown dark with city lights. The pictures are based on true photographs supplied by NASA. For details click on About in the Help menu.

You can change the way the map looks by clicking on the Satellite View or Map View from the Map Menu or by clicking on the globe icon on the tool bar.

There are 5 different views all up. The Map View gives you the classical look whereas in Satellite View you can see the earth as it looks from space.

In both viewing styles (Map View and Satellite View) you can also choose to have night time areas shaded. If you are in Satellite View you will see city lights and even main traffic routes lit by vehicles.

In Satellite View you can also have the entire window set to night time view. World Time Manager remembers your preferences.
