+xI also got annoyed by spinning the Date/Timewheel forever to adjaust date and time after loading a route from a previous year.
I have to agree with this comment - the time/date selectors are rather more fiddly to use than selectors in most other applications, especially for the minutes. Fortunately there is another workaround which is to tap on the data field itself which then allows you to type in a number, although for months and minutes it might be nice to have 1-of-12 pop-up choosers instead (assuming 5-minute steps seems reasonable!)
