[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[Susanna Ånäs]

Hi all,

I agree with Jan that selecting a time range for the map is not as good as
a point in time, and also with Micru that it is required for events.

In fact, we may be talking about 2 different selectors with additional
filtering and other options for each.

Cheers,
Susanna
