Title:
  feature request: automatically change timezone based on location

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I travel, I often find myself changing by Ubuntu laptop's
  timezone, so that it displays the local time. The clock's menu
  configuration already has the ability to show the "Time in auto-
  detected location," but there is no way to display that in the
  indicator (without clicking on it to display the menu.)  It would be
  nice if there were a way to either:

  a) change the system's timezone based on the computer's location (as
  if I went in and changed it manually myself, which I often do when I
  travel,) or

  b) have the option to display the time of the auto-detected location
  alongside the system's time in the indicator.
