title: Google Maps Directions API duration_in_traffic different from maps.google.com
body: <p>Using the directions api (<a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/</a>) and providing a departure_time. This gives me as a result a  duration_in_traffic response.
  However, the time I get in the response is way below what I see on maps.google.com for the same route and time request.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a timezone conversion I should do? I'm providing the starting time using the javascript getTime() function for the requested departure time</p>
