I spent a week camping near the California/Arizona border and my phone was absolutely flummoxed by the time zones. It was constantly jumping back and forth an hour.
The weirdest part is that I wasn't even _that_ close to the border, it was 30-40 miles away. I know there is some room for error with phone location tracking but I've never had a maps app consistenly confuse my location with a spot 40 miles away.

- bombcar 5y agoI wonder if it has to do with which towers it is connecting to rather than where it thinks you are. I know time sync is important so perhaps your phone just shows you the timezone of the nearest tower and that almost always works well enough?
