Add comparison cities: Click + Add City and search for cities such as New York, London, and Dubai. These are practical comparisons for export, logistics, finance, and customer support workflows, because Argentina often overlaps partially with North America, Europe, and Gulf business hours in different ways.
Select a working time range on the grid: Click Select, then drag across the Villa Mercedes row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight that block in purple. This lets you see, for example, that 9:00 AM in Villa Mercedes is 8:00 AM in New York, 1:00 PM in London, 5:00 PM in Dubai, 10:00 PM in Tokyo, and midnight the next day in Sydney during standard offset periods, which helps confirm whether a morning meeting in Argentina fits overseas schedules.
Export or share the selected time: After selecting the range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed meeting window to a distributed team, because each recipient will see the appointment translated into their own local time without manual conversion errors.
