Hello, for specific actor questions, please use the Issues tab next time.
Doing just California or inputing separate cities should have mostly similar results. If you do California, the scraper will internally find top 500 cities and do a deeper scrape there and shallow scrape elsewhere. There really isn't a "best" way to scrape, it is a compromise between coverage and cost by choosing good zoom based on the area (generally high zoom over cities and low over countryside)
The team is currently working on more flexible way of determining the zooming but it is still in progress.
You can input multiple locations and merge results with
