Hold all the time in the world in your hands.

Time Map is ideal for anyone with business, friends, or family in different parts of the world. The beautiful, easy-to-read interface allows you to identify the time in other cities quickly and easily. The attractive display shows cities on a day/night map to give you an instant and intuitive feel for the time around the world.

  • Tap on a city to see the exact time of night or day.
  • Automatically show the time in your current location. (This feature requires network connectivity.)
  • Select between 12- and 24-hour time.
  • Zoom and scroll the map to focus on a particular region.
  • Configure the map by enabling the display of clouds and city lights.
  • Customize the display by selecting cities from a database containing 85,000 entries.

Time Map requires an iPhone or iPod touch with OS 3.0 or newer. Install Time Map through the App Store.
