PDAs: Your travelling mates (Part 2)

Be on time

If you don't want to miss your flight, it's important to keep track of your time, especially if you're travelling to a destination in a different time zone. You certainly don't want to arrive at your hotel in the morning and find that your watch is telling you that it's actually nine o'clock at night. A sure recipe for disaster if you've to keep to a schedule.

Handspring Visor users already have CityTime loaded in their handheld. This nifty program shows you at a glance what time it is in any major city around the world. There's even a map that lets you see which part of the globe is shrouded in the darkness of the night and which is basking in morning sunshine. If you're using a Palm, there's no need to feel left out because you can still grab this program here.

If all you need is a no-frills utility to tell time, try Big Time. This freeware lets you see the time of your home city as well as two other cities of your choice. If you like it, you can purchase Big Time Pro, which contains more features, including the ability to set alarms. With it, you can be sure that you'll never miss an appointment.

For Pocket PC users, you can have the world's time in your hands with Pocket Watch. With an attractive world map that functions like CityTime, four different alarms and the ability to give your program your own customisable skins, this is one program Pocket PC globetrotters won't want to do without.
