I think it would be a very good idea to be able to systematically check, & change settings if necessary - so some way of it systematically presenting the spokes would be good (in this aspect, the old way was better). I know I keep forgetting to set the correct tome zone! Who lives in New York? 'Everybody' I know lives in Auckland! I think it would probably be better _NOT_ to set a default time zone - joking aside, most people do not live in New York.
Since Final TC1 or so, it now tries to pick the correct timezone by geolocation. It seems pretty accurate from the results reported so far.
Well I am physically in Auckland, New Zealand- but I may have an IPv4 address associated with Christchurch, New Zealand (blame my ISP!). Either way, I am definitely not in New York!
Possibly, people should be given an option to either confirm or to change?
Ahhh.... There certainly is the option to change... On the"Installation Summary" page there is a "Date & Time" option to change it....
Anyway, what do you get when you go to this URL (no trailing slashes)
https://geoip.stg.fedoraproject.org/city
or
https://geoip.stg.fedoraproject.org/city?ip=18.0.0.1 Where you replace the IP address with your public IP address.
{"region_name": "Auckland", "area_code": 0, "latitude": -36.86669921875,
"region": "E7", "dma_code": 0, "country_name": "New Zealand",
"postal_code": null, "city": "Auckland", "longitude":
174.76669311523438, "time_zone": "Pacific/Auckland", "metro_code": 0,

Interesting. A couple of years ago, an online map put us in Christchurch.
However, the F19 TC3 installer gave me a time zone of New York!
