I am trying to retrieve the time zone from the longitude and latitude from the MapKit. Does anyone know how to access the MKPlacemark TimeZone? When returned, it is always GMT (fixed) or America/Chicago (current). This is dependent on how I use define the option portion.

var timezone: TimeZone {
self.placemark.timeZone ?? TimeZone(abbreviation: "CDT")!
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Better try it. Many of the properties of CLPlacemark is retrieved when reverse geocoding is called.

How have you got the placemark? Have you used the reverse geocoding APIs properly?

Thanks @OOPer! I incorporated the reverseGeocodeLocation. That did allow me to access the timezone.
