Pokémon GO Nearby System Testing Extended to New Regions

I updated today, and was surprised by how well it worked when I was out running errands. Finally, a decent tracking system. Not perfect, but tons better than nothing!

^ You do have to select the mon you want it to track. Did you click on a specific one and it still did nothing? D:

At last I see both nearby and sightings now but tapping a pokemon on the sightings does not do anything just says find thisnpokemon in the wild

I gave this a good trial today it was showing pokestops not near me when I reached pokestops near me there were mons about but never showed up on the tracker.

The sightings didnt really work at all walking were there were no stops it showed ip about twice and yet I was picking up mons that never showed on the tracker.

Also a weird thing happening is its vibrating and there is nothing there and then sometimes it will vibrate a 2nd time and a mon then appears . Anyone else experiencing that.

So to me this new tracker system is not reliable and not much use.

My phone is constantly vibrating with no Pokemon spawning.

I've also gotten the vibration with no spawning, or Pidgey and Ratatta's will disappear and respawn and that makes it vibrate. So I check my phone and it's constantly like a cry wolf, to the extent where sometimes I don't check and could miss something important. :x

Since the new Nearby Update I've not seen any New Pok?mon,all I see is the most Common ones. If this stays that way I will be deleting App as finding it very boring.

Now it vibrates when the Pokemon spawns, when it disappears and multiple times inbetween.

Typically my character idles around so Pokemon will spawn and disappear wile I'm standing in one spot. In other words it vibrates constantly. I believe before it would only vibrate when Pokemon spawned, can we go back to that?

Today I was shocked to see a Snorlax under "Nearby". I checked the map and it was more than a quarter mile away, near a pokestop I was familiar with. Fortunately I was in my car, and quickly zipped over to the spot as the message appeared "The pokemon fled". I've noticed that often pokemon appear in pairs, one after the other, and sure enough there was a Snorlax sitting there. 33% IV's, not a great one. But they are so rare ...

The "Pokémon fled" message doesn't always mean they actually fled. Sometimes it's because the area is so saturated with Pokémon near PokéStops that the game doesn't load them as nearby.

But when you get into range, the Pokémon will naturally spawn. Of course, sometimes they do time out and despawn.
