Since the subject of gnome-maps is current right now ... When I installed Fedora 21, I was mildly piqued that I couldn't choose Montreal, home for me. According to the online Fedora Documentation, section 5.4.3 (1), "The list of cities and regions comes from the Time Zone Database (tzdata) public domain, which is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The Fedora Project can not add cities or regions into this database." Ok, grumble grumble, I used to be able to choose Montreal in Anaconda. I chose New York, about 595km away; I could have chosen Toronto at about 542km away. After install gnome-maps today, I opened it and it immediately displayed a map of New York City, presumably since gnome-maps looked up my city location, which I entered in Anaconda, found New York, and displayed a pin over New York City. I assume that /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is populated from the Time Zone Database; the files for the various regions are a little bit text and apparently a good amount of binary. Is there a way for the common user to populate this directory with custom entries? More generally, is there a way to specify a closer city in the settings so that a user gets a ballpark useful starting location if their hometown or metropolitan area isn't in the list mentioned above?
