mapHover feature not working properly with zonename as an option

[pcboy]

Hi,

Looks like something is wrong. When I set the mapHover option to zonename and I hover Asia/Shanghai I can see that America/Chicago is hovered too. They are both labeled as CST but they are different timezones?

U.S. states using CST in the winter and CDT in the summer so JSON which I have it's not dynamic based on time

I am going to make zone abbreviation dynamic in the new release.

So mapHover = zonename will highlights the country which has same zone abbreviation

can you please explain your usecase? so I can understand it better and fix the issue.

It should indeed be CDT in summer. But for me that's not the only problem.
See this screenshot when I hover Shanghai:

For me in term of user experience this looks quite strange. Right now time in Chicago is 10:08 PM on June 17th, and time in Shanghai is 11:11AM on June 18th. So even with the hour difference for winter and summer in Chicago, this is still a 12 hours difference? Am I missing something?
Maybe I'm using the wrong option. I tried to use mapHover = 'timezone' instead but that doesn't seem to work. If I hover Paris, Berlin is not in hover mode either while they are both GMT+2.
Basically I'm looking to get something similar to that map when I hover countries:
