INTRODUCTION
CimaWT is an application designed for world travelers who carry their Palm-connected devices wherever
their travels may take them. It is also a useful application for anyone who may have an interest in having
general information about countries, cities, and currencies around the world, or to convert measurements from
one unit to another.
CimaWT combines the features described below (in "Navigating") in a single easy-to-use, friendly, and visually
appealing application.
While CimaWT is best appreciated on color units, it will work with any Palm-connected device with Palm OS 3.0 or
later.
NAVIGATING IN CIMA WT
As mentioned above, CimaWT combines five functions that may be useful for the typical world traveler. These five
functions are selected by tapping the associated icon which will always be found at the bottom of the screen.
Additionally, online help is always available to the user by tapping on the '?' symbol in the upper right-hand
corner of the main screens, or tapping on the 'i' symbol in the upper right-hand corner of the pop-up screens.

world. Information includes such data as capital, population, country code, Internet code, currency, geographical

State Department (if the accompanying Travel Advisory database is installed).

of cities worldwide. Information available on each city includes population, location (latitude/longitude),

World Clock: The World Clock feature of CimaWT allows the user to see, at a glance, the current time in his or
her home city and in up to six additional cities worldwide. The display automatically takes into account daylight
savings time that may be in affect in each city, time zones, etc. The user may select how the clock displays the
information for each city: 12-hour mode, 24-hour mode, UTC offse, or as a difference in the time from the home city.

Measurement Conversion: The Measurement Conversion page is a practical and easy-to-use way of converting
between some of the world's most common measurement units. This module allows the user to quickly convert between
