Google Maps button:

A Google Maps search button was added. This button allows the use of Google maps API to find longitudes and latitudes of all the cities on Earth, as well as time zones (daylight saving time included). For more details, click here.

Details:

- If the city is in another country that the default country, you must type its name in country field.

- If the country is dividing into state (or other subdivision), you must type the name of the subdivision in the state field. For example, if the birth took place in Alabama, United States of America, you must type USA in Country field and Alabama in State field.

- If you know the name of the county, or to avoid ambiguousness, you can type in the county field the name of the county (for example Richland for Columbia, South Carolina, USA).

Most USA cities have county name the same as state name, so it is better not type anything in this county field.

- If the city is not found and if you know its longitude and latitude, you must type its longitude and latitude in the bottom part of the dialog.

If Proastro cannot determine the correction to find the UT date of birth, you must type in the bottom part of the dialog UT birth date and hour.

- The person gender can be specified. N = Neutral (for example the independence day horoscope), F = Woman, M = Man.

- The Roddencan be specified. See Rodden definition

- If you don't find the city, and if you think it is not found because it is badly spelled, you can click on the button Cities. A dialog with a list of cities for a given country will be displayed. To have more details on this dialog, click on its help button.

- If you don't find the time zone correction to apply, click on the Time zones button.

You will have to open the right time zone file in the right directory and choose the right slice of time for the birth date.

- If you want to get the horoscope for the hour of your watch, and for the place where you are, click on the Now button. You must have configured parameters concerning your city in the menu [Configuration] [My city]. To have more details about this dialog, click on its help button.

Remark:

In any case (Time correction no found, country no referenced), you can always type in the lower dialog box fields:

- date and hour in universal time (GMT same as UT).

- longitude in hours minutes seconds or degrees minutes secondes.
for example 2d50'46" W or 0h5'55" E are both valid

- latitude in degrees minutes seconds.

- Type years in complete manner, for example 1997, not 97.

- Generally speaking, before beginning an astrological survey, always check carefully proposed birth date and time zone correction.

Make some elementary verifications; for example if the birth took place daylight, check that sun is above horizon...
