Currently the Timeslider displays the current time locally as per the users timezone from what is stored in the table as a datetime. Thus a user in the US sees a different time to those in the UK and that is ideal in most instances.\r\n\r\nWhat I would like is to have another field optionally displayed in the slider whilst using the datetime to power the Timeslider text value.\r\n\r\nThe initial request comes from trying to show the spread of wildfires in the afternoon where the local time is important as it shows schools dispersing, traffic snarls etc and the time of day needs to be precise, no matter where you are viewing the map.\r\n\r\nThe secondary request comes from plotting events post an earthquake where the time of the earthquake is somewhat irrelevant, It would be easier for the end user to understand \"Initial quake +10 mins\", \"Second quake +3 mins\" etc than attempting to calculate this and view the map.\r\n\r\nTo keep the coding simple, when building the torque map, the designer would have the option to select secondary display field. If that field was used, the system would just load the entries in that field and display these instead of the datetime field.\r\n"}}
