The Geography button opens the world map form and menu search options for locating and automatically loading meteorological and solar data to the current calculation for various key world locations. The form displays three menu options at the top: Select Region; Select Country; Select City.
Clicking directly on the World Map will automatically enter data for the nearest city to the clicked upon location, confirmed by placing a highlighted spot on the map, at the same time the Select menu options at the top will automatically reflect the Region; Country and City corresponding to the clicked upon location. If clicking on an area of the world map does not result in a location being identified then that is because there is no data in the program's database for that specific location. Move the Mouse cursor slightly and click again until a location is found.
Alternatively, using the Search button will offer an input box to enter a city name and the program will then search for it in the database. Search text is not 'case sensitive' and, unless the Exact Match box is checked, does not have to be a complete text string in order to find a city. For example, entering stras will find:-
Region: Europe Country: France City: Strasbourg
A useful feature if unsure of precise spelling or even exact country.
