When the timezone known by Google-maps, its shows in localtime. When the timezone is not known by Google-maps, it shows in GMT, and displays a small notice at the bottom. At first I thought it was Brave and Tor that weren't sending the timezone for privacy/tracking concerns, but even Chrome support is inconsistent.

@IamPete1 , I've had some trouble with the timezone calculation and was able to work out that time-zone info support is pretty inconsistent across browsers and operating systems. What do you think about removing this line? It tripped me up the first few times I tried to call in to the weekly devcall - I thought the weekly ArduPilot meetings were just inactive.

@Hwurzburg , I'm sorry for the late response. I'm not opposed to your suggestion, but I do wonder if the AP wiki should be documenting the features and bugs of an external web service, vs keeping it simple.
