Pokemon Go’s new tracking feature in beta testing

4.4
Here’s a look at the new tracking mechanic in Pokemon Go which is being tested by some players in San Francisco.

It revolves around Pokestops, and shows the user the closest location of the Pokemon.

You can see it in action via a tweet from Jackson Palmer below.

With the release of v1.30 patch on iOS and 0.33.0 on Android, players will be able to use the Sightings system which shows various Pokemon in the player’s vicinity.

If you head over to Eurogamer, you can get a look at screencaps of the update, Sighting, and a look at the game asking if you are driving or a passenger.

Please don’t lie and claim the latter. We want you alive, as do your parents, significant others, pets, grandparents, children, and the local government because one less person means less taxes collected.

The patch also fixes points bonuses while catching Pokémon, will allow the player and on-time chance to change their trainer name, and the battery saver has been restored for Apple users.

Tracking feature seems like it would be nice.

Tracking is nice. I'm waiting for some NSA theorist to say "THEY ARE USING OUR LOCATIONS TO TRACK OUR EVERY MOVEMENT" Like bruh. They only want the n00ts.

I like this tracking system but wonder how it's going to play out.

Nick I'm happy to see them still updating it after all the bots and cheating.

Right lol, I'm kind of surprised.

The thing is most people don't bot tho. A lot of people do but most don't.

I miss pokevision :( Although I haven't been playing at all recently because im back home, but once the fall semester starts back up I will play again because there are literally over 100 pokestops on my university's campus

I'm using a app where I can stay at home and travel all around the world. Saves me getting off my ass and save my petrol driving around everywhere. You rank pretty fast as well so this doesn't matter to me... but I do like the Sightings feature tho.
