Geoclock is an IBM PC compatible shareware program which shows the current time in all time zones throughout the world. It also charts in real time the current positions of the sun and moon, as well as day/night/twilight regions. This information is overlaid on various maps, which can be selected by the user either by clicking on various areas or by selecting from a list of maps currently installed. All maps display the current day/night coverage provided the computer's clock is accurate.
The software is especially useful to amateur radio enthusiasts; to that end an optional HAM radio package is available to licensed operators.
