Abstract
In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for determining a time zone for a computing device. A computing system identifies an approximate location of the computing device. The computing system identifies multiple time zones that correspond to the approximate location of the computing device. The computing system identifies a time offset for the computing device at a point in time. The computing system determines, as being a time zone for the computing device, a single time zone of the multiple time zones that matches the time offset at the point in time.
