What you do is set it for the time zone you will be in. After the start and stop times there is a field for time zone.
I used this on a recent trip out of my time zone. Alarms worked in the new time zone. When I looked at an event, it would give me times for home and the time zone I was visiting. I think it said things like: "Flight #000 at 10:05 (8:05 Mountain)" Eric -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2015 9:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Calendar events in different timezones Hi Wayne, I don't use Fantastical 2 but last year when I set up NFB convention events in Outlook, I mistakenly set them with their actual eastern timezone times even though I'm also located in the central timezone. When I got to Orlando for the convention, all the event times were automatically advanced by an hour to reflect eastern time. I don't know what setting I could have changed to avoid this if any but if I make any appointments in Outlook for this year's convention, I'm going to use central time and record them an hour earlier than scheduled. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around how Outlook handles this timezone stuff and I wish I could set it to assume the times entered were for the timezone where the event is held. Alan Lemly -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2015 10:50 PM To: viphone Subject: Calendar events in different timezones All, I asked this question a few months ago, but want to make sure I understand everything once again. I am going to Orlando for the NFB national convention in a couple of weeks. I live in the Central timezone. However, since I am scheduling a few appointments using Fantastical 2 which happen in Florida, I want to make sure my times and appointments will not get all messed up when I get to Florida. I have timezone support on my phone turned on, so does that mean that when I go from Central to Eastern that my appointments will automatically adjust the time or will they stay at the same time? I find this whole issue of changing timezones very confusing so could someone please explain simply and put me at ease.
