Time Zone Accuracy
As MattB notes in a comment in another posting, we just upgraded the way we handle time zones. Your location is calculated just after midnight in your current location rather than midnight GMT, as was previously the case.
What does this mean? Basically this: Travellers in California will no longer have their departures announced 8 hours early.
Thanks!
Does it necessarily need to be just after midnight, can’t it be a few hours later? A have a problem with the Facebook application of Dopplr; if I happen to be to the east of my hometown (i.e. the time zone Facebook uses) the newsfeed from Dopplr will say that I travelled a day earlier than it should.
It appears the timezones are off again. For some reason, my trip to Denver that begins tomorrow has already been “announced”
this is nice.very nice. however, I notice that the facebook application still lags about 24hrs in my case. residing in new zealand, the fb-app seems to update a day or so too late even though gmt has already passed into the same day as I am in, although 12 hours earlier… it says I’m still where I left yesterday, even though it updated today from dopplr.
