This is a huge PAL Sheet that contains information about practically every populated place in the world.  For over 2,000 cities, states, and countries you can ask questions like, "What time is it in Kathmandu?" (corrected for DST) or "Where is Yakima?"  (Answer: Yakima is a City located in Washington.  It is in North America, in the Northern Hemisphere.  Yakima is in the Pacific Time zone.)  Other data include latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes (elevations above sea level).

World Places includes an amazing travel calculator, based on distances from any of 60 major global cities.  It estimates driving time or flying time based on the most likely means of transportation.  For example, you can ask, "How far is it from Paris to Dijon?"  The answer would be, "The distance from Paris to Dijon, France, is 160 miles.  It would take about 2 and a half hours to drive there; or, 30 minutes to fly there."

This sheet is perfect for anyone who travels!!

Hi Robert--

Sorry about that.  It's fixed now.  Please try downloading World_Places.xls again and putting it in this folder: C:\Program Files\Adondo PAL\Sheets.  Then you can launch PAL, go to the PAL Data tab, and see it as an available PAL Sheet.  (PAL also "discovers" any new sheet automatically, with out a re-launch, on drop-down of the PAL Sheet list in the PAL Data tab.)

The commands that go with World Places are fairly advanced, and because the sheet is large (almost 200,000 cells) it does take about 10 seconds to load.  Once loaded, World Places is incredibly fast and quite amazing.  It's based on worldwide airport aviation data.

By the way, PAL can handle much larger sheets.  We've had some folks use PAL Sheets to query "live" databases with almost one million cells!

Enjoy!!!
