Splunk Enterprise Security: How to filter geographically improbable logins over small distances?

In Splunk Enterprise Security, the geographically improbable login correlation fires when users on our network transition between ipv4 and ipv6 due to the different latitude fields in the geoip database. Is there a way to filter out results by distance value?

The rule by default looks for speed of more than 500. However, there is an evaluation of distance as well that is used to calculate speed. You could add a condition for distance being greater than x miles and/or swapping out the speed threshold.

Thanks I didn't realize I could edit the correlation searches, adding a "where distance > 1" did the trick.
