I now realized that I have overlook the feature allowing me to set the departure day and let the cam to adjust the time zone. But it might not be useful since I might cross more than 1 time zone a day.

This is what didn't appear to be working for me. But I think I'm going to approach this in a different way. The reason I was concerned about time was that I used to write location information to my photos after downloading by coordinating with location information from my GPS. My GPS recently died and I knew when it did I would more than likely just use my iPhone for GPS (I have enough devices already). In getting ready for my upcoming trip I started reviewing the GX7 manuals (I've only had the camera five years!, but I hadn't been using it much lately) and today finally dug into how location logging works with the iPhone app. I'm going to give that a try.

The first step in using the app for location logging is to "sync" the time. I did that and it wiped out the time and date info I had put into the GX7. In other words if you're going to use location logging, forget about world time and local time setting on the camera. Not that the manual mentioned this.

Thank you for replying. It helped me work through this.
