Does anyone know if there is a free (or inexpensive) GIS dataset available which describes the world's time zones (the more local quirks included, the better) It seems like it should be a common requirement for many GIS systems---enabling the system to map a lat/lon to an offset from utc---but I've searched the internet and come up empty handed...well, almost: I did find references to an ESRI data set, but the link was defunct and I can't find the data on the ESRI website. I also found a link to: http://www.manifold.net/download/freemaps.html which looks like it may have what I'm after, but the link to the data set is unresponsive. Also, does anyone know of a way to get proprietary Manifold data (polygons, I presume?) into a Postresql/Postgis database? ___________________________________________________________ Nyy Arj Lnubb!
