XT adjusts departure times for time zone

Just an observation of what I believe to be another XT developer's absurdity...

The XT will adjust the start time of routes in accordance with time zones. I am in the U.S. and set 14 routes with a departure time of 8:00 AM when I created them while in the Eastern time zone. When I was in the Central time zone they had all been changed to 7:00 AM and now that I am in Mountain time they are all at 6:00 AM. Neither the XT nor Basecamp have a time zone option when setting departure time so adjusting them for time zone changes just doesn't make sense.

I assume that it is automatically adjusting its clock time as you change zones then if the clock goes -1 hour it simply changes the route -1 hour to match. That strikes me as rather silly
