Timezone from geolocation

Question

I have a geolocation pair latitude/longitude, is there any way/tool to get the corresponding time zone?

Answer 1

A website called EarthTools has a web service for that.

http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm#timezone

You can pass in latitude and longitude like so:

h ttp://www.earthtools.org/timezone/40.71417/-74.00639

And it spits out the time zone and a bunch of other info:

    1.1
    
        40.71417
        -74.00639
    
    -5
