I did something similar a few years back for an ISC internal project.
I required 2 tables to achieve this
- mapping of the location to timezone code (geographic coordinates are often misleading, STATIC)
- rules and offset from UTC (daylight Saving Y/N, the window when to apply,...) might be flexible
- $ZTZ is your friend and the Docs are really excellent also for special cases
A further complication is mobile use.
example:
- You go to Summit in Seattle. (UTC-7)
- you need to arrange a concall with a customer in Amsterdam (UTC+2) (CEST!)
- and meeting in Nov. (UTC+1) back to normal time
- And you need to know the time zone used by your notebook (local or home or other?)
For the notebook, I used some JavaScript as the app was written in ZEN (10 yrs.back)
and it was mine and I could control it.
