The timezones in SH3 are not as in the real world. In the game they flip 1 hour over when you cross the 7.5 degrees east and west meridians. All other timezones are ofcourse offset from this by multiples of 15 degrees. In other words the timezones are centered on GMT and multiples of 15 degrees. Where as in the real world the beginning and ends of the timezone regions are more or less aligned with the multiples of 15 degrees.

Dig deep into the forum. It has been extensively researched to try to make celestial navigation work in the game. So far, trying to make a high enough resolution sextant/octant (for km/nm preciscion) has failed due to the game's limitations.
