A Plethora of Uses
Date Wheel is the electronic version of the plastic wheel-shaped calendar commonly used by businesses to calculate lead times, but it can be used in numerous applications, for both professional and personal needs. Calculate completion dates for projects, track when a shipment will arrive, determine how long something has been overdue, or find the Julian date. Figure out your baby's due date, schedule your next haircut, find out what day of the week you were born, or set a countdown to an important event. DateWheel is commonly used in the Automotive, Construction, and Medical industries. According to Harv Laser, Palm Editor of the former Handheld Computing Magazine, "(Date Wheel) is a useful tool for project planning, time management, ... estimating lead times, ... (to) count down to an important event, estimate shipping and arrival times, determine the exact age of a relative or friend... Ever try to calculate these kinds of things in your head?"
Features
DateWheel.net supports several languages and locales—dates are formated appropriately and the main screen and settings pages are available in English, French, German, and Spanish. In addition, Date Wheel.net supports three input preferences on the desktop: via calendar, via a pop-up list, or via text entry. One of the best features is that Date Wheel.net will remember your last calculation and settings, so you can conveniently close your browser and come back to it later. This feature facilitates the countdown—merely check “Today” and the selected date will update daily, showing the number of days left to an event.
