Zones - suggested sizes?

[+captainmath]

Is there any suggested size for zones for a simple walking tour of a town?

 

I assume the appropriate zone size varies with terrain and other factors, but do any of you experienced Wherigists have suggestions for zone sizes that won't be so big as to make entry too easy or play to confusing or so small as to drive players crazy trying to get to where they need to be?

It really depends on the area you are using. But error on the size of too big. The Garmin players can be finicky and a very small zone can cause all sorts of have.

 

I usually use 500 sq ft as a minimum.

 

If it is a walking tour of a town, I can't see any issue if you make them big. I assume you are taking the player to plaques/signs they need to get info off. If they "enter" the zone 30 meters from the plaque, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you make it clear what they are looking for. I would use a photo in your zone description.

I usually do at least two hundred feet. That has worked well for me in the past.
