Its much easier to read, although it thinks I'm in Dublin.

Dave,
well done on creating a very useful prog.
I cant think of any other way to improve it really.
As far as I'm concerend all that code writing stuff is
black magic.
Oh,

Shannon,... SHA...NNon,,,,
SHHHAAA,,,
ah forget it,,
'computer says no'

Another addition;
This time a calculator for the local rise/set of the moon and azimuths of same.
webtreatz.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,85/
Feedback once again appreciated.
I have discovered an issue though. Its to do with UT versus local time. e.g. when a time is calculated as 23:00 (for example) and daylight saving is on the time is displayed as 24:00. It gets worse if you are in a timezone like +3hrs when it will then show as 27:00. I will fix that tomorrow so it shows in the next day as it should.

Just an idea Dave:
Would it be possible to make these programs into java-based applets and suitable to upload onto a mobile phone?

Hi Dave,
I gave it a go and as you suspect the app still says Dublin.

I'll try the 3G connection later and see if it works.
That will be interesting. I would expect the location it gives will be the location of the base station of your service provider.
