Default AstroGPS

Hi all

For all you SkyMap Pro users out there, I've finished work on a utility that
will add GPS support to the program.
The utility will work with ALL versions of Skymap Pro from Version 5 and
upwards. Using your computer settings and GPS it will set most of the
Location information for SkyMap Pro, the information that is set is....

Latitude and Longitude.
Time Zone and Daylight Savings Time
And the height above Sea Level.

The time Zone and Daylight Savings Time information is obtained from your
Computer settings. The GPS can be used to set the computer's clock based on
current fix information.

This program is ideal for any astronomer who uses SkyMap pro in the field
and uses more that one observing site. In fact it's make an ideal tool for
someone who regularly uses more that one site and demands that the settings
are as accurate as possible.

The program is available for Download from www.cjdawson.com (And yes, it's
free)
