Find Timezone using GPS coordinate (Latitude and Longitude) in C#.net

Question

I have to find out local time zone from GPS coordinate (Lat and Long) in C#.net. However I have searched around it and got solution by using Google map api. I don't want to use Google api to find time zone using GPS coordinate.

Is there any other way to find time zone using GPS coordinate in C#.net?

Please suggest me any solution for it.

Answer 1

A coordinate is unambiguously in a single country, but a single country can have multiple timezones so even a country-level precision will not help you. How exactly do you imagine mapping the coordinates to a country and/or timezone without an external service, Google or not? I don't suppose you want to build your own Google Maps just to avoid using Google Maps (or Bing maps or whatever?

In any case, check if this question with its answer helps you to avoid using Google.
