Subject: Kazakhstan Time Zones?
Hey...
I am working on a program that will display local times to locations right
on a map.
Anyway I have almost completed linking a database of 12000 locations with
time offset and DST rule data. The only country left to do is Kazakhstan.
The problem is that I don't know whether or not there are two or three time
zones in Kazakhstan.
The tz database states that there are three, but when I look at the latest
CIA map
(http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/reference/Low%20res%20PDF/low
802700.pdf) I only see one tz boarder crossing the country.
If somebody could please tell me the actual number of time zones. If the
number is indeed 3 time zones then I would really appreciate a map of some
sort so that I could place my Kazakhstan cities into the correct tz
according to their geographical position.
If no such map exists, perhaps a list of cities with time zone data exists
somewhere. The locations in question are:
Alma Ata (Almaty)
Aktyubinsk
Shimkent
Oral (Uralsk)
Zhambyl (Dzhambul)
Arkalyk;
Qaraghandy
Zhezqazghan
Thank You,
Marek Olszewski
