Timezone Finder — Local Time of Any Point on Earth
Click the map or search a place to see its timezone instantly: the live local clock, IANA zone name, current UTC offset, and exactly how many hours it is ahead of or behind you.
Click anywhere in the world — remote islands, ships' positions, and half-hour zones like India all resolve correctly.

35.676200, 139.650300When Do You Need a Timezone by Coordinates?
Scheduling across borders — checking the local time at a supplier, colleague, or customer before calling. Travel planning — knowing the shift before booking flights and hotels. Photography and drone missions — pairing a shoot location's timezone with its sunrise and sunset times (see our sunrise & sunset calculator). Software and data work — resolving a lat/lng in a dataset to the IANA zone needed to localise timestamps correctly. Maritime and aviation — confirming the zone at a waypoint far from any city.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the timezone of a GPS coordinate?
Click anywhere on the map or search for a place. The tool looks up the timezone that applies at that exact point — respecting real political boundaries, not just longitude — and shows the live local time, the IANA zone name (like Asia/Tokyo), the current UTC offset, and how far ahead or behind your own clock it is.
What is an IANA timezone name?
Names like Europe/Paris or America/New_York come from the IANA Time Zone Database, the standard used by every operating system and programming language. Unlike an offset such as UTC+2, an IANA name carries the full daylight-saving history and rules for that region, so software can compute the correct local time on any date.
Does the tool account for daylight saving time?
Yes. The offset and local time shown are the current values for the zone, including daylight saving if it is in effect right now. The abbreviation changes accordingly — for example New York shows EST in winter and EDT in summer.
Why do some places have half-hour or 45-minute offsets?
Timezones are political, not purely geographic. India uses UTC+5:30, Iran UTC+3:30, and Nepal UTC+5:45 — offsets chosen to fit solar time and national preference. Click those countries on the map and the tool reports the exact offset.
What timezone applies in the middle of the ocean?
International waters conventionally follow nautical time — offsets in whole hours by longitude, 15° per hour. Clicking open ocean returns the conventional Etc/GMT zone for that longitude band, which is what ships use in practice unless their operator specifies otherwise.
