Thanks!
Looks like the only way is to have a list all the cities with time zone mark in front of each city, or at least witn minimum 24+ with daylight saving time info.
Online update from internet will not help, because sometimes we have different timezone with does not matching with ship's position (longitude) so automatic GPS timezone also will not match. The only way is to change timezone manually.
Apple does not support such commands like ... "-settimezone GMT-08", or similar variations, because it is not from the "list".
Having MAC makes me crazy:) but that's new experience:)
All the best to You! Stay healthy!
