A DateTime pulled from the device OS (or via system clock) won't be of much use, regardless of whether it is set local time or to GMT, if you plan to support users moving the device between timezones.

So, to use the GPS coordinates see this thread for suggestions: algorithm for getting time zone from geo coordinates.
