Email notification distance is wrong

Does anyone else have this happening?

We get notified of a new cache but the distance is way off.

Today we where notified of a new one only 3.1 miles away to the north.

I clicked the link and it is actually about 30 miles south west of us.

When a new cache is published in our town the email says it is 12-15 miles away to the east.

I have checked our home coordinates and they are correct.

Is there any way to fix this?

Check the coordinates used in the notification itself - each one has you specify a set of coords.

This is a good argument for why notifies should have home coordinates as an option. Someone is regularly posting with this exact problem. GS, are you listening?
