Google Maps: Directions: Are time zones my local browser, or local to where I am searching?
I am in the Pacific time zone, looking at driving times in Ontario, Canada. I heard that traffic can be bad, so I want to figure out expected driving time to the Toronto airport.
But when I dial up times in Google Maps (see below), it is unclear to me what time zone the times refer to. Are the times my browser/PC's clock time zone (Pacific), or are they the local time zone of the start or ending locations entered in maps (in this case, eastern US)?
Is there some Google documentation I can refer to? (I didn't find any.)
Best Answer
It's the locale's (ie the place you're looking at, not your phone/browser) time, of course. Wouldn't make sense if it were anything else. There's some information about that, but it's in the Android Developer's Documentation – not exactly light reading.

Does Google Maps use local time?
I think with this (and of course also the official manual stated in the other answer) it's quite safe to say that Google gives you the local time at your departure and arrival points and does not take into account your system's local time.How do you change the timezone on Google Maps?
