Please remind me : do phones adjust when you enter into another time zone?

My first flight was 2 years ago and I don't recall

Yes they do because they have to reconnect to the local phone network. Plus all phones have gps which tells them where they are in the world.

@justanothername unless you turn GPS off! 🤣

@DeWayfarer You can but it makes using maps much harder.

@justanothername I really don't use many mapping services and when I do it really isn't that much harder. Give me any map in the world I usually know where to go even in German at 14!

@DeWayfarer map reading is pretty standard to anyone over 30. For the big population of travelers under 30 it’s a different story if they don’t have a phone.

@justanothername I try very hard not to encourage cellphone dependency! It might not work yet at least I am trying!

I rarely even take my cellphone anywhere any more! This new cellphone has yet to be out of the house!

@DeWayfarer my wife and I use ours when traveling.

@justanothername i don't know if I even would. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Perhaps abroad. Because maps are hard to get there. State side depends if I knew someone or not.

@DeWayfarer we use maps for navigation while driving plus Google to look up nearby places of interest or book stuff.

@justanothername I'm the guy that goes to the store that doesn't buy anything else not on the list! 😆

Stores hate me for it!

I go somewhere, I know where I going before I even leave the house!

That's how I traveled to Germany at 14 all by myself! I knew where exactly I was going and who to contact. It was all planned out a day before I left.

@DeWayfarer That’s not surprising. You are also not part of any phone companies demographic.

@justanothername correct! Both GPS and location is off and "fused location" disabled!

This site thinks I all over southern California! 100 miles in all directions! 🤣

The login manager here says that!
