guille, Please read the documentation on the GeoLocation class. From the documentation:

Note: For latitudes south of the equator, a negative value should be used.

Note: for longitudes east of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich) a negative value should be used.

Amir, When you are below sea level the reason you see sunrise later and sunset earlier is due to obstructions (natural in this case) blocking the horizon. Would you expect sunrise to be an hour or 2 before chatzos and an hour or 2 after chatzos when you were at the floor of the Grand Canyon? Secondly, claculating netz hanireh (visual sunrise) requires much more than elevation. You need to calculate how far you are from the obstruction, how high it is etc to know the angle to the horizon. I will try to post more details some time in the future.

What are you looking to convert? Have you seen the Android Zmanim Using the KosherJava Zmanim API post? As per Jay, there was no work required for him to use the jar on the Android.

YMO, There is a C# .NET port that is being very actively developed. It will probably work in VB.NET. Yitzchok's code can be seen at the Zmanim .NET project page.

Gerry, None do. Zmanim calculations are based on the solar calendar, so none of the jars include this functionality. There are a few packages that do this, but not mine. The only calendar conversion routine that I wrote, is the PHP WordPress Hebrew date Plugin. I may post some information on calendar conversion some time in the future.

which one from the list of jars has functionality of converting georgian date into the hebrew date?
(Prefers that hebrew date will be returned as string…)
Anyone knows?
Thanks!
