The guide will list weekly, monthly, day and stream feeds of events close to your chosen account location It has a 40 mile default range (as the crow flys) but you can change this to your own choice to suit your location/needs Links on the main local guide index page will take and allow you to increase or decrease the default and also to change your account  location marker

Venue map Instructions   1 When adding or editing an event you need to find the 'location' section as below     Tap the 'Current Country ' box and the below will show Fill out the fields making use you do fill in the town/city and postcode More help is below -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please follow when adding venue details to your event Use venue info direct from Google Our event venue map uses google maps to display your venue location, so you do need to match your venue info to what goggle uses   Do not use 'venue titles' such as 'Nottingham Northern Soul and Motown @ The Nags'   Google hasn't a clue where or what that venue is , so that title will send it off looking (and then showing) for something else straight away You need to use the actual venue name (the real world name of the venue) not one that you have made up eg The Nags Head   Where it says address you need to enter the street name and number eg 1 Station Rd then if needed you can 'hit' the + icon and enter more address lines if needed   Need to add the proper town/city name as per Google Don't bother to add regions    Add postcode as per Google and that's it   Once the event is save in theory google should now find and show the correct venue address, sometime it may not, if you need any assistance please flag the event
