title: timezone used by google maps api while making use of departure time
body: <p>What is the time Zone used by the Google maps API while looking for a Transit or driving Information from a specific Location within a specific time Zone.</p>
  
  <p>I make the following request
  <a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=51.847247,-10.381659&amp;destination=51.644174,7.23135&amp;departure_time=1473423393" rel="nofollow">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=51.847247,-10.381659&amp;destination=51.644174,7.23135&amp;departure_time=1473423393</a></p>
  
  <p>The origin is in Ireland, the destination in Germany, so we are in 2 different time zones.</p>
  
  <p>The Server making the request is in GMT+0200.</p>
  
  <p>Does it means the departure time and the arrival time are given back by the API are both in GMT+0200?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
