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. 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 handled by a professional-grade global time zone atlas built into the application.

The second click puts the table into edit mode. To apply your edits and exit edit mode, press the Enter key, or press the ESC key to cancel cell edits

  • Delete a Location: To delete a location, select the row(s) you want to remove and press the DEL key on your keyboard. If the table is in edit mode, then exit edit mode before attempting to delete the row
