<pre wrap="">Eric,
I can not help you with the time zone boundaries within the Unites States.
However, I wanted to let you know that I created a KML time zone map for Canada.

By the way, the links you provided for the US time zone areas <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://efele.net/timeznp020.zip"><http://efele.net/timeznp020.zip></a> seem to have lots of points with many "significant digits" giving the illusion of accuracy.</pre>

That only reflects that the software I used has "printf ("%f")"
somewhere. What matters more is the stated accuracy of the map

<pre wrap=""> Unfortunately your data shows many sections of US/Canada border to be about 200 meters north of where it is
supposed to be.

That's in reaction to your map going about 200 meters south of where it
is supposed to be in some areas 8-)<br>
