Interesting Roman. Probably the terms are "world time" and "local time" which have values that are relative (GMT +/-) and absolute (e.g. 1pm) respectively. I suspect that one issue here is that desktop/laptops take their time from the system clock which is based on a fixed setting for the normal time zone location whereas the gps in a phone can adjust automatically depending on physical time zone location. As you say, it would be useful to have the option to set the preference between world and local time at task level.
