** Summary
There hasn't been any activity on this bug for a while now. There was a
suggestion made in comment #9 to change 'time zone' to 'city'. This to
me would be an adequate solution to this problem. Is there any
disagreement?

I haven't done a totally fresh install in a while, but I had a situation
simiar to comment 7 from Mark McCoy.
I live in Duluth, MN, USA and the closest city to me that is in the same
time zone is actually in Canada. While I understood at the time I was
selecting based on time zone, I didn't expect
Another comment on Step 2 in ubiquity (Where are you? Select your time
zone from the map, or by region and city.) I don't personally find
clicking on the map as accurate or useful as using the menus.
For users who wish to use the region and city menus instead of clicking
their city on the map, ubi
Yar, of course not. It uses the translated name of the city in
question.

I hope it doesn't literally say "City 2". :)

I'll note that the timezone map has changed very recently (not yet even
released) to use not quite cities, but 'zone names' -- i.e. translated
cities.
Where before you'd see Berlin or New York in the City dropdown, now you
see Germany or Eastern (translated for the language chosen). In the
case w
Evan, can you change the string to:
"Select your location from the map, or by region and city below."
Changing "time zone" to "location" will encourage users to make a more
precise selection, and adding "below" makes it more clear that the
"region and city" selection is separate from the map.
Mark,
The problem you're experiencing sounds to be a duplicate of bug 371509, which
we plan to address by teaching the map about the Southern US border, as
outlined here:

The timezone selector has been a papercut for me for a while. Out of
the cities listed on the map, none of the cities listed in my timezone
are within a thousand miles from my location, and I live in one of the
10 largest cities in the US (San Antonio). I usually choose Chicago,
but a novice user
"Why would they select only a region and not a location?"
They wouldn't, and the installer will not let them. We chose to split
the data into two drop down boxes because there are a large number of
time zone cities and users have often complained when these are put in a
single drop down box.

I'm concerned that your suggested string is too verbose. Keep in mind
that any space used by text is taken away from the timezone map, which
increases in usability as it gets larger.
The fact that it's not scaling to fit the window is a separate bug,
which has already been filed.

The user currently has two options. They can either select a time zone
location from the map, or alternatively they can select a region and
time zone location from the drop down boxes that sit below the map.
"Select your location from the map" does not explain the latter option
to the user.

You are correct Endolith, the separate bug you speak of is Bug #291853
