Time-zone support

Post by findbenjamin »

Ran into a gotcha this morning after trying to print logs from my trip to Hawai'i ( 6 hours behind me). I had manually adjusted my D/T settings on my Dive Computer (Gekko), and imported.. just fine. All was dandy, until my mac set itself back to my local timezone.... now my dives show up in my local time (with the offset) (I.E. a 6 AM dive would show up in my log as 12 noon). Obviously, I'd like my printed logs to reflect the local time of the dive (especially since the printed logs don't include a timezone).

Looks like the work-around is to change my system clock, print, then flip back.. of course, that requires me to "remember" what time zones my different sites are in. Anyone got a better way? Nick, is it possible to add T.Z. info to the dive site and have the dives show up in the local@site time?

Cheers,

B.

Yep, on the list. 4 months after moving and I haven't changed my laptop timezone because all of my dives get messed up.

So don't worry, I'm 100% aware of how annoying it is!
