Is there a list of "current" time zones?

You will find this menu in quite a few places. Generally people don't
have a problem identifying their geographical location - which is what
this list shows.

To simplify the menu, get the user to first choose a continent (eg.
"Australia" or "Europe") then a region from a smaller list.

You could also move the most common selections to the top of the list.
