There is a very complete and up-to-date database for time zones[1], which is installed by default on virtually any linux system, which is available as a standalone as well. The only problem is to associate GPS coordinates with a country/region. There are databases to do this too, but this might be out of scope in dt. In linux usually some sort of a tree widget is offered so one can pick an ID by country, and, if necessary, region. Storing that ID in xmp would be one thing to do so, the other being to give the dt-user a choice, if the time stamp in the file is UTC or never/always uses DST for a certain (possibly different) time zone.
