Bug Description

selecting Time & Date -> Time Zone displays a text box along with the text "Enter your current location."

There should be an option to determine the current location via GPS to avoid typing.

UX Resolution:

This has now been addressed and can be found in the specification: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Time_zone

Thanks, that's not in the design though. Using the carrier information (NITZ) is planned but not for v1, see bug #1351534. Not sure if having a gps option would still be useful once we have support for that, adding a design component to get their input on the feature request. It doesn't seem that e.g android has a such option
