How to play

Menu
PositionLive GPS follows your phone. Simulator lets you walk with a pad.
Keep the screen awakeStops the phone locking while you play, so your position keeps updating. A locked screen stops a website tracking you at all
Low powerFewer location fixes, no new map tiles, online checks paused. For long walks
ExperienceWho learns from a win
EvolutionCreatures evolve as soon as they are ready
Legends that escapeStay in their region for tomorrow, or roam to a neighbouring region you must chase
VoiceThe phone's own voices. Pick one, and how high and how fast it speaks
Spoken route notesOn each new route the phone says the route number, the family that lives there, and any gym or the League
Spoken directionsThe phone reads the next turn aloud while you are following a route
Sound effectsHits, catches and level-ups, with a vibration on a wind-up where the phone allows it
Area musicA theme for every gym domain from the Musical Forge engine. A pack, or a loaded folder of audio files (area_fire.mp3, battle.mp3, league.mp3), plays its own instead
AlertsNotify when a contender or a legend appears while the app is open
Region layout
PlaythroughSix separate games, one per layout and route size. Coins are shared
Route sizeExact north–south; east–west at Kitchener's latitude
WorldEveryone shares one world by default. Your own world changes which families live where, the gyms, the names and the teams that hold the landmarks
MigrationFamilies move between routes each month, so a route you know holds something new. Off by default
WanderersCreatures from the next route sometimes appear on yours
Map styleStreet map or the coloured grid
Habitat squaresColour each route by its family
Route noteA line of your own on the route you are standing on
PinsMark home, work, exercise or school at your current spot
Live trafficFree routing services publish no traffic. If you have a key from one that does, driving routes can use its timings and show where the road is slow
ConnectionWhat the app can reach right now
