User

 

The 'User' tab-page is the only tab-page that needs to be configured after program installation.

 

It has four sections:

 

a/ User Details - here you can enter the details for your home location. You should enter a name or callsign, using characters from the following: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, /, and SPACE. You should then enter your latitude/longitude position in decimal degrees. If you don't know what they are, you can find them on Google Maps by right-clicking the map. Your altitude is used for satellite calculations: just leave it at 0 if you are not sure.

 

b/ Program Startup Conditions - here you can choose to have the program-window in a maximized state at program-startup, and to show the Info Bar at program-startup. The page that the InfoBar will show is the one that it was last showing at program-close. Note that you cannot choose which monitor of a multi-monitor setup the program will start in.

 

c/ User Default Units and Formats - here you can enter your preferred units and formats for Distance, Date, and Time. You can also set your local Time Zone. Your computer will already know what this is: to find out, right-click the clock on the Windows TaskBar, and select 'Adjust date/time'.

 

d/ Program Alerts for Calendar and Countdown Timer Events - The 'Time Mapper UHD' can be programmed to respond to Calendar Events, or Countdown Timer Events. When these go off, you have a choice as to how you will be notified: by playing a sound, or by showing a Message Box. The program may also show a message on the 'News Ticker' as well.
