LatLong conversion to time zone.

This is a fork of [github.com/ugjka/go-tz](https://github.com/ugjka/go-tz).

## Usage / Example

```go

import localtimezone "github.com/albertyw/localtimezone/v3"

// Loading Zone for Line Islands, Kiritimati

tz, err := localtimezone.NewLocalTimeZone()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

zone, err := tz.GetZone(localtimezone.Point{

    Lon: -157.21328, Lat: 1.74294,

})

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

fmt.Println(zone[0])

```

Uses simplified shapefile from [timezone-boundary-builder](https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder/)

GeoJson Simplification done with [orb](https://github.com/paulmach/orb).

## Features

- The timezone shapefile is embedded in the build binary

- Supports overlapping zones

- You can load your own geojson shapefile if you want

- Sub millisecond lookup even on old hardware

## Problems

- Shapefile is simplified using a lossy method so it may be innacurate along the borders

- This is purely in-memory. Uses ~50MB of ram

## Updating data

Get the most current timezone release version at https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder/tags

```bash

go run tzshapefilegen/main.go

```
