The World’s Timezones on ammap

22 January 2009 1,896 views One Comment

While toying around with the flash maps from ammap.com I tried to create an interactive map that groups all countries by their respective timezones and automatically displays the current time each of them. I did not finalize all the little difficulties with it as I did not have a customer for it but I have to say that the flexibility that ammap provides is very impressive.

You can see the result in the iframe or check out the big version of The World’s Timezones. If somebody wants to go on from here, feel free to have a look at the sources and modify them: The World’s Timezones Sources

    Fixed a minor bug in the script by setting the default timezone to something on UTC-0 so that the offsets are calculated correctly. Works now.

    Solution was:
    date_default_timezone_set(’Europe/London’);
