brief mystery of time

[jfb]

A few words of advice. When planning a lateral cross-continent drive:

1. Don't forget to take time zones into account.
2. Don't forget to understand how time zones work.
3. Don't go to Arizona.

randomchef, okay, what I think is going on is: Streets & Trips will tell you when your next stop is in a different time zone; but in the directions, it'll pretend the whole stop is in one time zone, and it won't tell you where the change is. So you can't really trust the time-of-day marks, but the total-trip-time is correct. Also, it doesn't know the confusing thing about Arizona, but you don't have that problem.

I'm pretty sure (not that you have to deal with this) that the central third of australia is thirty minutes off from one of the other two time zones, and an hour thirty off from the other. AIEEE.
