Chris:

Very nice!  My implementation of the kml version is much less ambitious, but I hope to keep it at least accurate.  I'm very grateful for the feedback on my errors and I will roll it into my next release.

I've also mimicked your shape for the east Kootenays for my next release.  Are you certain that the border from just north of Riondel to Glacier NP lies to the east of the lake road?  I had it running through the lake and then up the Duncan river from there.  I can't recall where I got that.

I also had the border of the no-DST area of BC near Dawson Creek drawn a bit too far north.  That line bisects Hwy 97 twice, once between Chetwynd and McLeod Lake, and again just south of Sikanni.  I wish I knew the precise coordinates of those two transitions.  Do you happen to have that?

I guess we should assume that Petit-Mécatina is now on AST year round as you have indicated.

Interesting that the Quebec/Labrador border between Blanc-Sablon and L'anse-au-Clair is apparently a 90 minute transition in the summer time when it separates Atlantic Standard from Newfoundland Daylight.  I can't recall running into any other instances of a border transition being over 60 minutes.  It must be very confusing keeping the ferry departure/arrival times straight for the St. Barbe / Blanc Sablon ferry.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Steve Jones
