With Adventure Sync there have been various issues in the past with Pokémon GO. Now there’s good news, as the speed measurement has been increased.
What is new now? Some players on Reddit report that their Adventure Sync is suddenly tracking the kilometers covered while cycling or jogging.
This is new, as the limit was previously set at 10.5 km/h and cyclists often complained that it was not counted correctly even then. Now it seems that cyclists are benefitting.
This means the increase in the speed limit
What do the players gain from this? Those who like to bike while playing or let the app run while jogging will now have more kilometers counted.
So those who are out on such routes daily can quickly collect more kilometers and claim the weekly reward of 50 km.
Is this officially confirmed? So far, it is only reports from players on Reddit. Niantic has not commented on this. It remains to be seen what will become of this feature.
There could also be more benefits: If this speed increase applies generally, then players from cars or public transport can also look forward to it. If one does not drive too fast, the kilometers should also be counted here.
It remains to be seen whether this also applies to such vehicles or only to pedestrians and cyclists.
What do players say about this? Fans are excited about this change. After all, Ash moved in the anime and the characters from the console games often rode bicycles as well. It would be unfair if you couldn’t do that in Pokémon GO.
Some trainers suspect that this is just another bug and that Niantic will quickly fix it. This has been the case with many good innovations, fans say. This includes the expansion of visibility on the map, which was then reduced again.
Niantic is apparently also taking action against spoofers. At least that is what one source claims:
