The location of a member is
used to determine if a lost or found pet notification will be
emailed out. If the member does not set their location, then
the system cannot determine how close or far away the lost pet
is, so a notification email is not sent.
When setting your personal
location, we want to protect your privacy.
You have control over who sees your pin,
but, as a precaution, DONOT place your location pin, directly on
your house. Set it to the closest major intersection near
your home, or somewhere else like town hall. It is meant to be
your approximate location.
If you have set up your
business or other organization and you have a real physical
address, then place your location pin on the real map location.
So people know exactly where your business is and can find you.
From the home page one of the
map layers you
can view is the members layer. The map displays the
approximate location of members and
the zoom ability of the map is restricted to further protect
privacy.
The map view showing
the member concentration around the world gives the program
relevance. When someone posts their pet, they know how many
people they are directly reaching. Hopefully, people will be
inspired to grow the number of members in their area.
To set your location, click
on the Profile Menu Tab, then click the Location button. Find
your location on the map and click on the email
notification check box under the map. Be sure to set the radius
of notifications.
