If you consider a world map to select the timezone, with each timezone represented by a circle from the coordinates in the zone1970.tab, you will find the America/Los_Angeles close to where you live, and it would be natural to select it. We are talking of 400km at the scale of a world map.
There are at least two time zone cities within 400 km of where I live and another at 406 km. For much of this country (probably more than half by area), the wrong city is closer than the correct one. I can't believe this is the only place with that problem. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge.
