Convert time for Static Map

[GarthHoxsie-Quinn]

Afternoon all, 

While RI is not in the path of the upcoming eclipse, we are close enough to maybe have a unique show. That being said, we are putting together some maps and all the data is in UTC. As these are going to be static maps, I want to be able to show the time associated with Umbra location in EDT vs UTC as I am not sure a lot of the general public will understand.

That being said, I feel like I have tried multiple python equations I have seen posted to no avail. Python and Arcade are not my strongest areas so I appreciate any assistance that can be provided.

If the field UTCTime is a text field, here's one way to convert it to Eastern Time for April 8, 2024

var UTCTimeSplit = Split($feature.UTCTime,':');
var theDate = Date(2024,3,8,UTCTimeSplit[0],UTCTimeSplit[1],UTCTimeSplit[2],0,'UTC');
return Text(ChangeTimeZone(theDate, 'America/New_York'),"h:mm:ss A");

There is a GREAT GP tool called Convert Time Zone (Data Management) that does all the field calculations for you.  I tested it with some sample data and it worked well.  The parameters allow for Daylight Saving and Standard Time parameters as well.  Let me know how it goes for you!
