Gps

So is anyone else suddenly having GPS problems again? My little witch has been beebopping all over the place since the last update, and that hasn't happened since the first two weeks or so the game was running.

The last couple of days mine has been freezing up. I'll finish an activity and move on but when I look at my screen she's stilll back where I was and hasn't moved to where I am. Sometimes I have to exit the game and re-start it before she catches up with me. And I was sure I walked enough to use a couple of portkeys yesterday but nothing showed up. All of a sudden today they all showed up!

If you have keys to spare, start any higher value portkeys you can, because you currently get half credit for them. (You have to exit the menu first to see the credit, though.) But that may be what you are seeing as opposed to your actually walked kilometres being credited.

I've noticed the GPS being a little worse than usual, it keeps asking if I'm in a car, and there were issues with gps booting me out of fortresses and foundable encounters. Yesterday it managed to drain my battery from 15% to not bootable in minutes while I was out, which may have primarily been a gps / locating issue, not entirely sure. (Didn't even know that was possible.) Decidedly unhappy making, as I was trying to get a bunch of Portkeys walked off, and my walk home wasn't counted at all. 😕 Brilliantly, I could have shortened the trek by taking the subway one stop, but my pass is on my phone, too 😐, and I haven't the chutzpah to ride without...
