Tell us your idea.
I believe a useful and hopefully simple enhancement would be to change the tzdef setting in Radio Config>Device>POSIX Timezone into a list containing the zones listed in the link from the docs, https://github.com/nayarsystems/posix_tz_db/blob/master/zones.csv The list could also possibly display the human readable timezone from the first column of the csv, and apply the proper posix timezone from the second column. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice, and save some setup steps. Would this be possible/beneficial?

I think that's way too many options for a drop down but I don't know of a better way to do it. As it is now, it's annoying to have to lookup and type in the proper code but I think it would also be annoying to scroll through all the different timzone options.
You can detect locale and sett the right value, drop down would be awful and most users would not know what to pick
What about just a standard UTC(+/-) box, that might be simpler and more obvious as to how to enter the correct format?

It's a great idea until DST comes back around.
