This works for me >> My system gives me my true System-Time as GMT/UTC GeoNames returns the true local time in the local TimeZone, DST corrected diffToGMT = TrueLocalTime - TrueSystemGMTtime TrueLocalTimeZone = Round(4 * diffToGMT, 0) / 4 ...the "4" are to return the TimeZone in 15 min steps (...yes, even a 5.75 and a 12.75 TimeZone exist) Now you have the TrueLocalTimeZone... until the next recalculation...
