InterceptTime's global timezone preference only offered UTC, browser-local, or US zones -- no way to select SAST, and it defaulted to US/Eastern. Added Africa/Johannesburg (labelled SAST) as a selectable option and made it the default, since this deployment and its primary user are South Africa-based. Also fixed two clocks that bypassed InterceptTime entirely and hardcoded raw UTC display regardless of user preference: - map-utils.js's per-map HUD clock (top-right overlay) - gps.js's GPS-fix timestamp readouts (sidebar + visuals panel) Both now show the user's configured local time (SAST by default) with UTC appended for reference, rather than UTC-only. templates/layout/base.html's header clock (currently unused by any route, but defensively) was updated the same way for consistency.

Thanks for this — the clock work is a real improvement and I want to take it. The header clock, map HUD and GPS fix time all hardcoded UTC, and routing them through One change before I merge, in -let _timezone = localStorage.getItem('interceptTimezone') || 'US/Eastern';
+let _timezone = localStorage.getItem('interceptTimezone') || 'Africa/Johannesburg';This changes the default for every user who hasn't explicitly chosen a timezone.
Could you change that line to |

Thanks! The SAST timezone option and the UTC-only clock fixes (map HUD clock, GPS time respecting InterceptTime prefs) are genuinely useful and I'd like to take them. One change needed before merge: please don't change the global default timezone — this PR switches the default from |
Follows up on smittix#250. SAST stays a selectable zone, and the map HUD, GPS fix times, and header clock use InterceptTime instead of raw UTC. The out-of-the-box default stays browser-local, not a regional zone.
Summary
`InterceptTime` (the global timezone preference used across the app) only offered UTC / browser-local / US zones, defaulting to `US/Eastern`. Added `Africa/Johannesburg` (labelled SAST) as a selectable option in the settings modal and as the new default.
Fixed two clocks that bypassed `InterceptTime` entirely and always rendered raw UTC regardless of the user's preference:
Both now show local time (per `InterceptTime`, SAST by default) with UTC appended for reference, instead of UTC-only.
`templates/layout/base.html`'s header clock was fixed the same way for consistency, though no current route renders that template.
Non-SAST users are unaffected beyond the new default — anyone who already set a timezone preference in Settings keeps it (stored in `localStorage`); this only changes the out-of-the-box default and adds a previously-missing option.
