I left mine set at 50 miles for now and have been getting all kinds of notifications for all kinds of areas I don't go anywhere near. I think I'll change it to 10 and see how that goes. It was funny. At first I thought there was a rash of signs going up before remembering about the feature change. I'll still wait and see what others think about an intermediate distance between 10-50 and also see how 10 works for a couple weeks. I think I'll also get that mobile app and check that out.Russell wrote:C-dub wrote:That's a cool idea, but I'm still thinking that some folks may want to monitor two or more different locations that are several to a hundreds of miles apart and not care or want notifications about everywhere else in between.

Could there be an intermediate distance of 20 or 25 miles?
I understand this is a new feature, so maybe we can just wait and see what other users think and if they have similar concerns or recommendations.
Something to keep in mind (that I have just now put as a note in the My Panel page), is the distance starts from the center of the zip code area. Hence why I did 10 (for tiny zip codes) and then 50, as the thought behind that was it would incorporate communities outside of a major zip code at that point.
I'm not super well versed in the typical zip code "size".
Given that the distances starts from the center of the zip code, would a distance in between 10 and 50 still be helpful?
