(get rid of that deep space junk with that checkbox below the sky map and on the left side -- nobody can see any of that stuff unless they live 50 miles from the nearest street lamp, so its just clutter)

Anyway you can choose location (and the location is "sticky" in that the next time you access it, it will default to that location). It will default to the current time. But you can change that. And you can change the date.

I find it enormously helpful to look at it before I go outside at night.
