Timezone Picker

Selecting your timezone can oftentimes be a daunting task because of all the options with cryptic-sounding GMT offsets and no real visual representation. We have taken the time to create a completely visually-oriented Timezone Picker with the following features:

  • Map View of the World: Upon hovering over each section of the world, it will highlight the segment of timezone area associated with it.
  • City Markers: Clicking a portion of the map will insert a marker (red dot) to the closest city of your clicked point. There are 397 cities mapped out to their corresponding timezone.
  • Daylight Savings: The closest city will determine the timezone offset. In some cases, there are states/countries that have different timezone rules for Daylight Savings Time (DST) so this gives the option to specify very specific locations.
  • Choose Closest City: A select box will be populated with cities within a certain vicinity of the current highlighted city. This will allow you to further specify a city close to you without having to click exactly on the map where you wish it to be. Examples of this feature helping would be in Europe, where there are many close-clustered cities that may be hard to click perfectly on.
