While one hopes he does, it's not always a good assumption. But that aspect wasn't the intended focus of my remarks.
The point is -- the timezone SHOULD have absolutely ZERO impact on the actual calculated times. There are really only three ways to get an error here that I can see. (Chime in if you can come up with more!) * Using the wrong location. * Doing the wrong calculation. * Displaying with the wrong timezone (including DST errors, but that shouldn't be possible as a program error that I can see). A fourth possibility is a confused user; I'm not sure how to break down the possibilities there -- though using a TZ with different DST characteristics might be included. But I think the first step in sorting out the problem is to identify which problem you have, and that was why I was covering the territory. I hope the OP understands that I don't know any details of his knowledge or app, and can disregard any aspect of my message he's confident he's adequately eliminated!
