			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since alerts are sent in the USER&#8217;s time zone, and can be &#8220;copied&#8221; to the driver him or herself, there is sometimes a time zone conflict with the alert.</p>
<p>We have enhanced GPS Insight to ensure that alerts are sent to the driver in the time zone they are associated with in the system.</p>
<p>Here is a typical alert which has been set to send straight to the driver when they idle for more than 15 minutes:</p>
<div id="attachment_2462" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 345px"><a href="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/alerttz1.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-2462" title="alerttz1" src="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/alerttz1-335x500.png" alt="Copy a driver with a generated alert" width="335" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Copy a driver with a generated alert</p></div>
<p>Here is the driver admin screen, where you can set the time zone:</p>
<div id="attachment_2463" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/timezone2.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-2463" title="timezone2" src="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/timezone2-460x500.png" alt="Set a driver's time zone" width="460" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Set a driver&#39;s time zone</p></div>
<p>And when the alerts come in, they will adjust depending on which time zone the driver or user (depending on who is receiving it) prefers:</p>
<div id="attachment_2464" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/timezone3.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-2464" title="timezone3" src="http://blog.gpsinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/timezone3-500x235.png" alt="Time zone adjusted alerts" width="500" height="235" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Time zone adjusted alerts</p></div>
<p>Bear in mind that our choices ALSO compensate for daylight savings time (DST) which is why Arizona and Indiana are choices, as they do not celebrate DST.</p>
<p>This will help to ensure that when drivers receive data, it isn&#8217;t an hour or two &#8220;off&#8221; from the time they actually were idling/speeding/entering landmarks/etc.</p>
