The timezone selector has been a papercut for me for a while. Out of the cities listed on the map, none of the cities listed in my timezone are within a thousand miles from my location, and I live in one of the 10 largest cities in the US (San Antonio). I usually choose Chicago, but a novice user wouldn't know which city to choose if there aren't really any near them, or what time zone cities in Mexico are in (Monterrey is closer than Chicago), or why some of the cities listed are on the border of time zones that don't honor daylight savings time.
The region/timezone selector makes sense, the pretty map doesn't....
