Map

The Map control panel lets you set your computer’s location and
find out the distance and the time difference between your
location and cities around the world. If you travel with your
computer and use Map to reset your location accordingly, the
time (in the Date & Time control panel) is automatically reset to
the local time.

Certain programs (in networking and telecommunications, for
example) can use your computer’s location to account for time
zones and distances when making calculations.

Setting your location

1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and

open the Map control panel.

To magnify the map in the control panel (showing less of the
world at a larger scale), hold down the Option key while you
open Map.
