Some (Berkland) insist on local time.

I normally use the largest given.

Line? That's pretty specific if you mean exactly on a line. Straight or crooked?
Crooked requires multiple corner coordinates.

A circle requires center point lat-lon and radius.

I can give you NEIC place names for a given point. The problem is working forward with things like "SSE of San Bernadino".

You thought this would be easy, didn't you? 8-)
