EPMS New Find Shops Tab

March 14, 2013 02:36PM
Does anyone else prefer the old find shops method for EPMS? The new method only will default to 75 miles and has no way to let you default to a smaller area so you have to adjust it each time. I think the old area was 25 miles. This new system is pretty hard to adjust and read via my smart phone. This new system in general is making much more difficult for me.

What are your thoughts?

The default radius doesn't bother me because seeing all shops, including video, at one time is easier. My bigger complaint would be that now the maximum radius is 125 miles. Before it was 250.

I wish they would have left all the tabs on the top clearly identified and given a choice between the old find shops tab and the new map. I find the map deal almost impossible to work with from a cell phone. It is really disappointing. The system should allow you to set your own default distance.

I'm with the Goof; bring back the old manner of locating work.

I admire that they are trying to improve things but what the heck did they do? The tab is now near impossible to work with from a phone. I think the best solution would be to leave the new tab for people that like it but bring back the old tab for everyone else. Since 98% of my apartment shops are under 25 miles I also would appreciate a way to make the default setting 25 miles. The 75 mile setting has me adjusting it 2-5 times a day.

It is garbage. I didn't want to be the first to say it smiling smiley I don't shop over 25 miles and I can't even preview a shop if it is a backup shop. I feel for the color blind as well. The "b" for backup is sooooo light that I don't know how in the world anyone can see it. I don't want to do video shops as well, so I don't want them showing up in my search. I saved a link to the previous search method in anticipation of this day and it won't even work.

Now you know how I felt looking for video shops since I didn't want to see the writtenwinking smiley

I wonder if they have any idea about the problems the changed caused for some people. They had both options for a while. It would be nice if they went back to that so that people could choose the one they like best.
