It's trivial to specify location manually. Only partially related, but I get irrationally annoyed by websites repeatedly asking me to have my phone provide access to my location. In almost all cases, I'd much rather type in a 5 digit zip code and be done with it.

Hmmm but I think people using this feature will be extremely sensitive to it reporting it exactly for their current location. Forgetting to change your zip code and it silently telling you a light time off by five minutes could be a massive problem.

So just display a warning/confirmation prompt when the user chooses to use a fixed location rather than real-time location tracking. Or add the configured zip code to the data display.

This doesn’t seem like a safety critical feature that would warrant withholding the choice to opt out of third party location tracking

With how reliable I've seen location tracking anyway, I wouldn't bet my life on the device getting it right. I'd rather know that it is up to me, and be accustomed to updating accordingly.
