I can't click on the grass ones though.. are you not supposed to be able to?
missfroggy
UK player here; updated via App Store (iPhone) and I've got this - only have sightings atm

This is not a good compromise. It either directly tells you where they are, or just tells you they're around. Two extremes, no good I say.

I just wish they would release it in South Korea. I want to play too
anthonyLG
They're beta testing it but that is the new update
roaringstar4
Mine doesnt look like this? I just have the pokemon with grass behind them....
roaringstar4
NVM saw posts about this being a test
Aramahn
This rolled out to a limited amount of players for the update. If all goes well, we'll all get it.

Your battery will die before you get to any of them.

So what does the grass tell you? They're in grass? Is it a distance thing?
ilaughinthefaceofdangerHAHAHAHA
How did you zoom out so far!?
ShitpostShittingCat
Saw this and checked he App Store. FUCK YEAH
sorosfieldops
PSA: you can change your nick from the settings now. ONLY ONCE, make it count.
SuckItBlue
So you can change it to either rick or d- you know what, no.

So some ppl are saying it's only in SF but ppl in Nebraska also have it. what kinda phone do u have? Features seem to be diff.
eleutheria
You must be one of the lucky beta testers. I am not :(
isthisnecessary
Mine just shows all the "sightings", aka no hints on where they actually are.
Amb1verse
Because you're not near a bunch of pokestops wiyh Pokemon at them, comments above me are false
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
It's a phased rollout
Alexpil
Cause it's being tested with a small group first
Galactasaur
It's still better because the only Pokemon that show up are really close by
SaltedIce
I don't believe you.Gif

I also just checked, and I did have an update waiting for it - Nexus 6p
WellFNamesTaken
Niantic said only a subset of people have it to see if it works, but it's legit
Schwarttzy
Can confirm, got a nexus 5x Android
shaarlune
What's the name of the tracker ? :-o
shaarlune
Thanks guys !
BigDickPodrick
You just need to go to your app store and update the game.
FunkyCake
Its an update in the game. Some people get to try out this beta version...what i read
EClaire1073
It's mostly people in SF, since IIRC that's where Niantic's HQ is.
ZacMuerte
yeah, all of mine are just in grass. probably doesn't help that the nearest pokestop is well outside the scan radius, and they're rare.
ZacMuerte
it's not like I live in a SMALL city either. we have nearly 100,000 people. It's just that there are only a few places people take photos.
ZacMuerte
so in those.. like 3 locations, there's usually like 3-9 in a very small distance. (not even joking. there's 9 and a gym at the mall)
fruust
you gotta make people play ingress then, since that's were the stops come from.
ZacMuerte
heh, yeah. like I could make 90,000 people play a game I don't even play. Also I thought they were just ported over, not a live feed?
Blackmind1992
This would be a useful system if I had more than 1 pokéstop within 5km of me.
seemetrollinh8in
At least you can hatch a 5km egg on the way there and on the way back. Eggs are better than hunting anyway.
goda90
I work at a decent sized software company with a big campus. They just removed all Pokestops and gyms because kids kept hanging out there.
Howdoilife
I hope give SOMETHING to the people who live in more rural areas. I love the game but i'm so limited it sucks.
apsychoticpenguinforgothismeds
The grass, yes, the rest I'm not seeing.
bomboy23
My guess is it's a pilot test to make sure server loads don't shit the bed
Freakymon
Everyone sees the grass, the rest is currently in testing.
TheStigsChineseCousin
Ok I was confused. I'd love to be able to zoom out that far and pan around the map to figure out where things are.
MeAnd2Bs
You guys should take a look at the reddit source, there's good info there, but here's a good look at it. /a/GkdBi
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
So they're making the game only functional for people living in cities?
Squossifrage
Quit your whining. This takes a huge amount of work (and server resources), so yes, they're going to roll it out in cities first. (1
Squossifrage
All you asses bitching about the Pokévision shutdown didn't give a shit you were preventing a whole continent from playing, did you? (2/2)
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
I didn't play the game until it released in my area. I don't even have the tech smarts to be able to cheat.
Squossifrage
Pokévision was a map that let you see where all the Pokémon were. People were using it so they could sit on their asses until they saw (1
ITalkAboutGoats
Ah yes, advocating moving, instead of a smart business idea. Brilliant.
Squossifrage
They have finite resources. It does not make sense to prioritize areas with relatively few players. They'll get around to you eventually.
MeAnd2Bs
The new update also tells you if you're going to fast and not to play while driving, but gives you the option "I'm a passenger."
LittleOnewithGlasses
So far it only works for San Francisco/nearby cities, not quite worldwide yet.
dontmagpie
yes. it kept spamming that i was going too fast, last night, while i was laying in bed. every minute. for an hour.
FrecklesIRL
Yeah, I got this while sitting at my desk last night. I guess I should...sit...slower...?
IGaveInAndJoinedTheImgurDarkSide
And you're required to select passenger multiple times for it to let you play
HitlersArtCritic
Probably good that it does it multiple times, as it'll be frustrating if you are doing this and driving.
Squossifrage
I just got “You're going too fast” while sitting at my desk.
MeAnd2Bs
Ooh, I think that means you're working too hard!
meeksmcgee
Better take another Imgur break
Squossifrage
Working hard? I'm a government employee. We keep joking that that's why there are so many Drowzees around our building.
ImgurBackup
I mean, the Earth is spinning at an incredible rate. So.... that's probably what they meant.
squadoodle
I got that warning while walking. Not running, not jogging, just walking.
AFineDayForScience
Plot twist: squadoodle is world record holder for speedwalking in the Olympics

Shit, this guy is on to me...

This is due to gps drift
MeAnd2Bs
Mine popped up when I started the app. It had me down the street from my house and then showed me running and then the warning showed up.
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
location services do not report to your device unless an app requests them they use a blend of gps, triangulation from cell towers, and 1/

2/ wifi. when the app requests your location these methods do not load simultaneously and take a few seconds to determine your exact

3/ location. starting with a radius of about 50m from your location and narrowing down to 1m or so by the time they load fully.
