It's working as designedl; any time zone tag within the image is currently ignored. If a time zone tag is present, it should really be used instead as it is direct evidence instead of inference.
The only test images I have in my collection with time zone information are a few from Nikon DSLRs and they are using a nonstandard MakerNote tag for this. Can you point to upload some test images with time zones?
Sure, thing, I will give you 3 different cameras that do this (last one is cell phone so the picture should already be geotagged) Panasonic TZ200 look for Offset Time : +07:00 Offset Time Original : +07:00 Offset Time Digitized : +07:00

For now, I wrote this. It's not perfect since it will not support timezone changes within a direction, but otherwise it should work:
TZ=$(ls -1 *.jpg | head -1 | xargs exiftool | grep -i 'Offset Time *:' | sed "s/.*: //")
[[ $(echo $TZ | wc -c) != 7 ]] && echo "Failed TZ; $TZ" && exit
echo "Timezone offset from first picture: $TZ"
sleep 2
gpscorrelate -R -z$TZ -g .track.gpx -t -v *.jpg
The Offset Time tags were added to EXIF relatively recently (ver. 3.21 in 2016). I know the last time I looked for a standardized way of representing this, it didn't exist. It makes to add support, probably by default.
any chance this can be added? my workaround is ok, except when I have mixed timezones in a directory, and then it falls over :)
It most definitely can be added, but I'm desperately trying to get the long-overdue release out (that's stalled on a French translation) so unless someone sends a PR it will happen after that.
All new cameras tag the timezone the picture was taken in Date/Time Original : 2023:11:06 16:15:35 Offset Time : +07:00 Offset Time Original : +07:00 Offset Time Digitized : +07:00
merlin [mc]$ gpscorrelate -g z20231020_Thailand_Vietnam.gpx -t -v *.jpg gives me Date/Time Original : 2023:11:06 16:15:35.181+07:00 GPS Date/Time : 2023:11:07 00:15:35Z
and the GPS tag is just not the correct one. merlin [mc]$ gpscorrelate -R -z+07:00 -g z20231020_Thailand_Vietnam.gpx -t -v *.jpg fixes it, but that means I have to read the GPS offset in the picture and give it to gpscorrelate, instead of it getting it itself. Also, me doing it manually won't work well if a directory has a mix of pictures from different timezones,
Is that working as expected? If so, can the code be improved to use the timezone inside the exif tag? Thanks
