"I'd be surprised if this hasn't been raised before, but is there any reason we can't do an exact postcode area search? 5 miles is a long way if you are travelling by foot." Fucking hell no thanks. I don't want randoms turning up | |||

"OP, in rural area some postcodes have 3 or fewer houses in a postcode." Postcode? Sure. But the search is based on postcode *area* (ie, only the first part of the postcode). | |||

"OP, in rural area some postcodes have 3 or fewer houses in a postcode. It's simply not safe to have the ability to search down to this level. Like a lot of people here I value my privacy. " as this lady has just said some rural postcodes just do a few houses but it town or cities some postcodes can do up to 200 houses blocks of flats for exzmple,,,  | |||

"Seems like people are confusing postcode with postcode *area*. Obviously, postcode would be far too specific." Do you mean the first 4 eg BJ10 plus the next number? | |||

"Seems like people are confusing postcode with postcode *area*. Obviously, postcode would be far too specific. Do you mean the first 4 eg BJ10 plus the next number? " You can only enter the first part of the postcode into the search. For example, E20. It results in a pretty wide area, so only being able to narrow this down to a 5 mile radius isn't always helpful. | |||

That's right but do you mean you'd like the first number of the next set of figures to be included eg BJ10 2 | |||

I think a 0 miles radius could make some especially women, feel potentially more in danger. | |||

Have you considered my suggestion of using 'who's near'. That narrows the distance down considerably and ensures the people who are happy to have their approximate location are identified. | |||

I don't get why a 5 mile radius isn't sufficiently exact for you OP. Are you crawling over broken glass to get to your meets ? | |||

"My postcode has 2 houses in, including mine lol. A vague area is far better as it allows an element of anonymity. " Exactly this. When I had my location on in a rural area, I had a couple of messages from people guessing really closely where I lived. It's not a nice feeling knowing strangers are narrowing down your location. I now have my location off permanently. | |||

"You said in your original post that 5 miles is a long way on foot. Is that the issue and, if so, why is public transport/taxi/Uber not an option? " The problem is that it's not just 5 miles... it's a 5 mile *radius* around the postcode area. In my case, E20 + 5 miles covers most of central and east London. That's a huge area. | |||

It's possible, but a bit of a ball-ache. I'm forced to use the work wifi, which blocks Fab.

"How about a +1 mile option as a compromise? At least that would narrow the area a little." My response to this would probably be to set my location as Leeds. | |||

I can see your dilemma. It's the best I can suggest currently but your suggestion is in the right place for admin to see it. | |||

"I've had people try to triangulate my location. I wouldn't want this at all."
It's commonly done Swing,as you've seen. I've had men crawl around trying to get an ever more accurate pinpointing of my location - it has the feeling of being as bad as a Russian targeting
I think the OP has considered facilitating his narrowing down his selection but potentially not of the presumed targets for his travels, who probably already feel somewhat at risk | |||

But there is obviously no appetite for it here. | |||
