Abstract
Facilitating date selection by a user includes presenting the user with a single timeline band, causing the band to change granularity of date increments in response to the user zooming in and zooming out on the band, causing the band to present different dates based on band positioning initiated by the user, and allowing selection by the user of a date that is presented on the band to the user. The band may show less granular date increments in response to the user zooming in on the band and the band may show more granular date increments in response to the user zooming out on the band. In response to zooming in, a date presented to the user in connection with a less granular view of the band may become part of the date selected by the user.
