World Time Zone Maps Service

The most accurate timezone maps in the world able to provide local time since 1895.

Quick Index

We also offer a Local Time API Service which you can learn more about here.

Overview

As part of our expertise in time zone information delivery, WorldTimeEngine.com has developed the most accurate and comprehensive time zone maps available anywhere in the world reflecting the information available through our web site service..

All of our timezone maps are broken down in to individual administrative countries and, as necessary, individual regions within multi-zone countries. Our timezone maps are based on internationally approved land and sea boundary demarcations and cover the entire surface of the earth. In addition, all of our timezone maps are linked directly in to the information provided in the Olson Timezone Database, an open-source, collaborative compilation of information about the world's timezones.

By combining our timezone maps with the information provided in this database, you will be able to obtain accurate world time, not only for the present moment, but for any date in history or in the future, based on currently available information and including any and all Daylight Savings Rules that have been recorded since standard time was introduced in 1895.

We are able to provide timezone maps for the world or individual continents depending on your needs, and this data can be provided in any format you may require.

We offer flexible pricing plans for our timezone maps. For more information please see the section below entitled 'Maps and Pricing'

Important Terms

When purchasing our timezone map data, you must agree to comply by the terms and conditions defined in our end-user license agreement. The full end-user license agreement can be viewed here.

Here is an overview of some of the key terms on the use of our Timezone Map Data.

You may not redistribute our timezone map data without our expressed written permission.
You are free to distribute value-added functionality based on the timezone data provided, such as visitors local time, but you cannot redistribute any "pure" data provided from our timezone maps, i.e. data based on the timezone map information alone, without clearing it with us. For example, you are allowed to use the local time data to display local times to different visitors on a website, because this does not involve redistribution of the local time data. However, you are not allowed to, without our permission, display a table of raw local time information in your application or on a web site, or build your own "local time server" that distributes local time data to other computers. We may permit these activities, under certain circumstances, but only with permission.

The data may not be used in competitive services without our written permission.
You may not create competitive services or functionality with the data we provide without clearing it with us. Tools like our Local Time Comparison Service can be licensed separately, and in many cases are available for free.

Credit must be given to WorldTimeEngine.com wherever the data is used.
Wherever any of our timezone map data is displayed to a visitor, you must credit us as the source with a short credit notice as specified by us. When permitted by the media, this notice will be a hyperlink to the WorldTimeEngine.com site. Where our timezone data is used in multiple calculations in a single location, it is acceptable to display a single instance of the notice; however, the credit text must be accessible in the page or window where the use occurs.

These are just a few of the key terms of the service. The full license agreement can be viewed here.
