You can download the athan software from this site
http://islamicfinder.com/ and use it to find the prayer direction (qibla) and the times for prayer.
Generally the time for prayers are:
Fajr (2 units audibly) from when night becomes distinct from dawn until the sun rises
Zhuhr (4 units silently) from slightly after the zenith of the sun (noon) until a little before halfway to sunset
Asr (4 units silently) from end of time for zhuhr until sunset
Maghrib (3 units audibly) from sunset until dusk is not distinct from night
Isha (4 units audibly) from end of time for maghrib until halfway through the night
