This program is a compass for Palm handhelds. All you have to do, is to setup your home city by selecting it from the list. If your hometown is not available just select one nearby.
After knowing the geographic position (longitude and latitude) and the timezone (difference to the GMT Standard Time) the program calculates the direction of the sun and displays a yellow circle (sun symbol) on the display.
