Context:  When using the Export capability of a "History | Show Past Flight Trails"....

In looking at the GPX file, the time shows this (as an example):

 <time>2020-02-01T11:22:11Z</time>

But the time shown is not Zulu... it's the local time of the device.  (Yes, this is an assumption, but since it was 11:22:11 in the morning when this particular element was recorded, it would seem a safe assumption that it is recording the local time there, and not Zulu.  If it were Zulu, then at 11:22:11 local, it would be recorded as 17:22:11 UTC.)

So, when I import this GPX into another program, the time the other program sees is incorrect.  Yes, I've done a "Find/Replace" to fix it, but should I have to?  Couldn't you follow the standard?

Reference, in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format,

Dates and times are not local time, but instead are Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) using ISO 8601 format.

BTW, don't think this is a complaint, just an observation... I love the Export function!!!

Robert, I've identified this as an issue.  We are correcting the software to use Zulu time in the GPS logs, rather than local.  Until then you will need to manually correct the departure time in your flight logs.  Thanks for alerting us to this!
