I am a subscriber and don’t have to make up my mind, but monthly updates would make the site useless for me. So it reduces the hypothetical choice to 2 and not 3 options.
Just in case it’s not clear - it’s just the LifeMap updates that would be monthly. All the other city/street progress stuff would be the same.
if that changes anything

After running Sun, Tuesday, Thur, Fri, Sun in the last ~week, the last run that shows on my BETA lifemap is Sun, Oct 20.
It is not that big a deal since it is just the beta, but something doesn’t seem to be working properly with the immediate update method if it is supposed to be active.

I just became a subscriber! About how long does it take until the beta features become visible for me? Thanks!

Your next activity will build your map if I don’t get to it first. 
How has this been working out for everyone?
From my perspective, it looks like it takes too long to update the LifeMap beta. I’m unsure if you’ve all noticed this. I think there’s a ~16 hour delay between the time that a new activity is created to the time that the LifeMap beta is updated.
Yes that is slow but it is better than not having any LifeMap data at all show up for my account under the non beta link.
Has it been consistently slow for a while, or just slow nowish? Because I’m completely saturating my database with work right now. 
So I kind of expect everything to be a bit slow for the next ~hour or so.
My run from 2 days ago has still not been updated on my beta map. I haven’t tracked it super close because I have so much coverage in my default town it’s hard to tell. I did run a new route that I hadn’t run before on 11/11 that isn’t showing.
oh oh … I thought you meant performance-wise, like using it was slow. I see - it’s taking a long time for the maps to update.
I’m pretty sure that there’s a browser cache for the tile data (your activity traces) at each zoom level. 
holding shift and refreshing the page while viewing an area that is missing an activity should help. I’ve heard that if you zoom in/out, then any cached tiles will be displayed instead. I think this would result in activities “disappearing” at certain zoom levels. I haven’t seen it first-hand yet.
I tried modifying the URL for the tile source in a way that would work around the browser cache, but it sounds like that didn’t work. 
I’ll have to keep working on the issue. 
I’m now seeing that updated map. I’m only looking on iPhone mobile.
There’s a new addition to the LifeMap Beta!
You can now filter the displayed activities based on a start/end date.
The LifeMap beta is at https://citystrides.com/users/YOUR_USER_ID/map_beta (it’s the LifeMap URL with _beta added).
Click through and zoom way in, zoom way out, drag around and filter 
… Let me know here if/how it works for you.

Not working for me. Allows me to enter dates but still shows all activities. Very cool idea.
What if you enter an outlandish date range like 01/01/2012 to 01/01/2030?
Ooh, I just remembered that I had to modify the underlying data structure that I store in Amazon S3. It’s possible that your data isn’t updated yet. I’ll check that out…
This is awesome! The ability to see what was completed in each calendar year is a very nice feature! Thanks James!
