Places and arrival/departure alerts
A place is a named area on the circle's map. When a member enters or leaves it, whoever asked to be told about that place gets an alert.
Everyone starts with four templates to fill in — Home, Work, School and Grocery Store. A template does nothing until you put it on the map.
Add a place
- Open Home and open the sheet at the bottom of the map.
- Tap Places, then Manage Places.
- Tap Add a new place.
- Search for an address, drop a pin on the map, or use where you are right now.
- Set the radius and give the place a name.
- Save it.
A place's radius is between 50 metres and 5 kilometres. Adding places is free on every plan, up to 100 per circle.
Choose which places tell you, and about whom
- Open Manage Places and tap the place.
- Open its alerts.
- Pick the members you want to hear about, and whether you want arrivals, departures, or both.
Alerts are personal. Somebody else asking to be told about a place does not sign you up, and your choices do not change theirs.
Edit or delete a place
- Open Manage Places and tap the place.
- Tap Edit place to change its name, position or radius.
- To remove it, choose delete and confirm.
The member who created a place, plus the Owner and Admin, can edit or delete it. Deleting stops everyone's alerts for that area, and cannot be undone.
Saving places is free; being told about them is what a plan buys
- Free: 3 places can alert you
- Silver: 15
- Gold: unlimited
If you reach the limit, either turn alerts off for a place you care less about, or upgrade the circle from the Membership tab.
