Adding and Editing Locations

When adding or editing a location, Aquila's precision timekeeping system uses the latitude and longitude to do the work for you. Simply enter the coordinates, and the correct local time zone, along with any historical Daylight Saving Time rules, will be automatically applied for any date, anywhere in the world. This is all handled by a professional-grade global time zone atlas built into the application.
