We have a Location in our CRM for our prospects, and a common task is “which prospects live close to a given city”. Unfortunately right now this task is very difficult to manage:
- On a Map view, we face this limitation: Map view: if multiple entities share a location, can't figure out which entities those are - the Map view is relatively useless for finding out who lives close to the city, because if multiple people leave in the same nearby city, you can’t find out who they are!
- In a List view, I’d happily apply a Location filter, such as “within 25 miles of this address” or “inside this state”. However, neither are possible - Location only supports substring filters (?!) which is good enough for state or exact city matches, but it won’t find someone who lives in Mountain View for an event in the nearby Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Redwood City, San Mateo, Fremont, or other nearby Bay Area cities.
