Getting Started


Run the EarthWatch by tapping its icon on the screen.
First you have to set your home city or current location from the list in the dialogue.
You can change it later by choosing "Select Cities" in the menu.

EarthWatch provides four modes, which you can select in the menu or the icons at the top right-hand corner of the main screen.
  • World Time
  • World Climate
  • Time Converter
  • Auto Demo

World Time
Up to four cities' time can be displayed on the rotating earth at the same time.
You can change the city selection by choosing "Select Cities" in the menu.
If you tap anywhere on the earth, the nearest cities from the tapping point will be displayed, then you can select the city from the list.
In this case, the city is automatically selected as "City 3".

World Climate
Shows the information of the cities (current time, average temperature, average rainfall, longitude and latitude).
To change the data shown, tap the inverted black triangle and select the city you want to see the data from the list.
In this case, the selected city is selected automatically as "City 3".

Time Converter (not available in the Demo version)
Calculate the time difference and the distance between cities.

Auto Demo (only 1 variation in the Demo version)
There are three variations.
-Changes of the day (demonstrates the shadow moving on the earth in a day)
-Changes of the season (demonstrates the shadow moving on the earth in a year)
-Display the cities in a random order (Enjoy the city cruising on the earth,,,.)

Select Texture (not available in the Demo version)
