In case it will help, here is another instance of this bug. When I look at recent activity box, and look at local activity within that, it sends me to smallredhouse. I clicked through to see what was there and got to this page: "smallredhouse's home page":http://myfolia.com/gardener/smallredhouse If you look at this page, you will see that while the address is listed as Mount Rainier, and either the weather feed is correct and she's in Washington State, or the map is correct in locating her in Maryland, or maybe the District of Columbia? So that's an error, but I don't think it's the one TR is talking about. Supposedly, she is within 250 km, of me, but since the search is only about 50 km off, I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the vagaries of mapping...center to center, vs closest edge to closest edge of zip codes can make a difference. However, when I went through the main page box listing of what's harvesting in your area now, the way TropicanaRoses describes it, I looked at the harvesting for snake beans, as I didn't remember it appearing on the other list, and it still didn't. When I backed up and clicked directly on snake beans, then on the where does it grow tab, it showed only two entries in the United States, soleil in California and CMagnus in Albany, NY. Everything indicates that I am still set for "within 250 km" and I just now double checked to be sure, but CMagnus is 350+km away. Too much for me to give any weight to rounding and vagaries. This is the same error TR was referring to, I think. It's not a big deal, because everything else is magnificent. but I figured if you were going to try to look at it, the more examples you have of the problem, the better! Thanks again for all you do. 2009-10-25T15:15:50Z false 13277 2791 2009-10-25T15:15:50Z 609 Perhaps along the same vein, and since my account came up as part of the first instance of this bug.... :) I looked on the USDA zone map to find other Seattle, Washington gardeners within 100km. Right next to the '8' box designator for my city and zone is the box '9b'. It points to leavesofjoy, who lives in a different state: Port Orford, OR. And, in clicking around a bit, another zone box (zone 5!) in the next town over, Bellevue, is for Hollee, in Kankakee, IL (quite a large distance away). Part of the trouble may lie in the fact that I hadn't necessarily indicated the city/town for my garden - I assumed that the default for my garden was where *I* lived (Seattle). Instead, it looks like Folia placed my garden by default in Nebraska or Kansas, just south of where TropicanaRoses lives (I believe this is the center of the USA, but I'm not sure). Also, in following the link to Hollee's page, her location map is Bellevue, WA, but written underneath as Kankakee, IL. Perhaps the default garden locations are somehow garbled? @TropicanaRoses - do you still see me listed within 250km of you? Cheers to all! ~evergreengirl 2009-10-26T20:36:26Z false 13332 2791 2009-10-26T20:36:26Z 11631 Yeppers! :) 2009-10-26T21:03:32Z false 13333 2791 2009-10-26T21:03:32Z 5779 We geolocate each gardener using a variety of methods, and sometimes each of these methods can give very different results when given the same information - which makes this bug chasing somewhat difficult. The weather feed is provided by Google's weather API. So we send it whatever you enter as your town in your profile area. So the more specific this is (like, including county and state and even the short postcode for UK and Canadian users) the more accurate your local weather is. We also do a quick lookup of this information against Yahoo!'s geolocation service and grab your latitude and longitude so we can match you up with local growers and help you track swaps. So that's why the weather and map might be a bit off as it depends on what Google and Yahoo think what the two places mean and for weather, what the nearest weather station is. With that cleared up on how it works, there looks like there may be a bug in the local bit and it might not be applying the radius properly. I've added it to our bug list and we'll have a look at it. And thanks for the detailed examples. It'll help track down the cause of the problem. 2009-10-26T21:40:12Z false 13337 2791 2009-10-26T21:40:12Z 2 Thanks Nath!! We have faith in you guys!!
