Hi,

Assuming your coordinates match, I suppose you could load a layer containing time zone data into postgis from somthing like http://openmap.bbn.com/data/shape/timezone/ (Haven't looked at possible licences of that data though) You could then use one of the postgis spatial operators to find overlapping or nearby countries and retrieve their timezone offset and retreievethe time using the date and time functions of PostgreSQL.

Anyways, just a thought.

Cheers,

Hi,

I want to know the date and time at a specific location, represented by a
pair of coordinates.
Is there any way to convert a pair of coordinates to a timezone? Or directly
obtain the local time at the coordinates that I specify?
