Help is Just a Click Away.


MyWorld-Trips comes with a detailed help manual using the standard Apple HelpViewer. You can quickly find key information on a any topic by clicking on one of the many links on the MyWorld-Trips Help summary page.


Its Attractive.


MyWorld-Trips uses a portfolio of custom, beautifully-colored, elevation-relief maps of the Earth in its natural "blue marble" shape. Each map is centered on a different region of the world (e.g., Europe, Australia, Middle East). Because these are not "flat" maps, you never lose your perspective of where a distant place is on the global earth.


Its Personal.


Your name appears at the top of window and and your home location is pin-pointed on the map. Paths can be plotted to distant cities from your home. If you move to another city or country, you may update your home location in seconds.


Its Alive!


All MyWorld-Trips maps can display a night shadow of the Earth that progresses with the movement of the sun and tilts with the season. You can also turn it off or on and change its transparency and color.


But ....


MyWorld-Trips requires Mac OS X 10.7 or higher to operate. You will also need to be connected to the internet to view the regional maps for a selected nation, state, province, or city.

MyWorld-Trips Gives You the Big Picture .. Quickly.


MyWorld-Trips lets you display "great circle" paths to and between distant places around the world with a combination of "round" maps for great distances and "flat" maps for close-in views. Pictures, videos, planning materials or other media associated with a past or future trip can be presented as each segment of a route is displayed.


MyWorld-Trips' "blue marble" maps make visualizing distant locations and routes easy. For example:


What countries will we fly over on the way there?


If we want to stop at another city or country, where else would be right along the route?


About how far is it to that country compared to a trip across this one? Is the shortest route really up over the north pole?


If we call there now, would it be day or night? About long should we wait to call?
