  • timezone -- Olson timezone

  • UTC_offset -- offset from UTC (hours)

  • UTC_DST_offset -- offset from UTC during daylight savings (hours)

  • notes -- typically specifying the target of an 'Alias'

  • polygonID -- unique identifier (= timezone)

This dataset was generated on 2022-11-03 by running:


library(MazamaSpatialUtils)
setSpatialDataDir("~/Data/Spatial_0.8")

convertOSMTimezones()

loadSpatialData("OSMTimezones_02")

SimpleTimezones <- OSMTimezones_02
save(SimpleTimezones, file = "data/SimpleTimezones.rda")
