Fair comment. Basically, we have the map there as a placeholder for 
future features. It is grayed out though, so IMO it looks like there is 
no interactive ability with the map.

You know, I noticed that as well. I know that we get the 
region/country/timezone data from the system library, libzoneinfo. I am 
not sure if the data in the demo is from the this library or something 
we just made up. Niall can answer this.
