Near me FAQ
How does Near me work?
We rank published TripCali places and beaches by straight-line distance from your ZIP, city, or device location. Radius chips filter results—traffic and mountain roads are not modeled.
Do you store my location?
No. Browser geolocation stays on your device for this page session. ZIP/city lookups use a public geocoder (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) only when you search.
Why might distances look shorter than a drive?
We use as-the-crow-flies miles. Real California drives—especially coast, desert, and mountain routes—are often longer. Pair with the Drive-time planner for rough hours.
What if I am outside California?
You can still search a California ZIP or city. “Use my location” outside the state may return empty results inside a small radius—widen to 100 mi or enter a California place name.
