but my GE is showing all my devices can be upgraded to Time Zone map version 32.00. The details are "Updated DST data for Mexico and Greenland."

Does it matter with smart

Does it matter with smart phones and auto updates?

Yep

Even smart phones need up to date time zone details

Well I don't know what they updated for Mexico since Mexico has done away with the stupid outdated DST which may have had a purpose 100 - 150 years ago but not now !

Quoting https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/mexico#:~:text=Most%20of%20Mexico%2C%20including%20its,Daylight%20Saving%20Time%20(DST);

"Most of Mexico, including its capital Mexico City, doesn't use Daylight Saving
Time (DST). However, some exceptions exist for the
locations that follow the DST schedule of the United States:

Baja California observes DST and uses the same time zones as neighboring
California in the US. Here, the DST period starts on the second Sunday in
March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

Sonora does not change its clocks to stay in sync with the neighboring US state
of Arizona, where Mountain Standard Time (MST) is observed all year.

Municipalities near the country's northern border with the US keep the DST
schedule for practical and socioeconomic reasons. This includes the
municipalities Ciudad Juárez and Ojinaga in Chihuahua, Colombia in Nueva
Leon, and Reynosa in Tamaulipas.
