Time zone map questions
How do I use the interactive time zone map?
Click any city dot on the map, use the search button to find any global city or time zone, or choose from popular cities. The details panel instantly displays the selected location's current time, UTC offset, daylight status, and sunrise/sunset times.
How does the 24-hour time scrubber work?
Drag or slide the 24-hour timeline scrubber below the map to simulate any time of day. The map updates the selected city's time, shows corresponding UTC time, and shifts the daylight illumination zone across the globe.
Are daylight saving time (DST) adjustments included?
Yes. Time zone boundaries and offsets follow the authoritative IANA Time Zone Database (2026c), automatically accounting for daylight saving time transitions for each region.
What is UTC and how do the offset numbers work?
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global primary time standard. Offset numbers indicate how many hours a location is ahead of (+) or behind (-) the Prime Meridian at UTC+0.
Can I zoom and navigate around the world map?
Yes. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to zoom in and out of regions, drag to pan across continents, and press the reset button to return to the default global overview.
