Well that was a big fail. Won't let me use it because it can't get a GPS signal

:( That's a bit crap. Surely there's a GPS marker for your location?

Not sure what you mean there. Get location ok thru' wifi as the screen capture I posted shows.

I've got it working kinda. It takes 10-20 secs to tell me I have no GPS. In that time I was able to select the incense. Poke turned up but couldn't select it. Restarted the app and quickly caught it. Waited 5 mins restarted the app another one turned up.

Time to go do it again

I'm at work so 90% of images on the internet are blocked, which includes pretty much everything on this site, so I didn't see your screenie.

So experiment complete.

As I said in the 20 odd seconds it took to realise there was no GPS I could select things. That's how I got the incense on. Spawning would still occur every 5 mins but I couldn't select the poke without an app restart. Poke would reappear and I'd quickly select it. I could still catch it which it saying no GPS though.

The haul, incense on for;

1 min -Voltorb 245 CP
6 min -Gastly 359 CP
11 min -Geodude 32 CP
16 min -Weedle 149 CP .... ran away
21 min -Rattata 85 CP
26 min -Bellsprout 349 CP

Biggest problem now is I only have 10 ultra balls and no others and no poke stops, so I'd have to buy balls and incense.

Your plane trick won't work unless it is wifi enabled, as you need a data connection. My wifi dropped out at one stage and it booted me to the google log in page.

My Pokedeck is now including Pokemon at gyms I've not got, as sighted Pokemon.

There's a new update.

When you go to catch a pokemon there's a weird dot centre top. I've not worked out what it does yet.

I've not worked it out yet either.

...got myself a 93% Gyarados with Hydro Pump as it's 2nd move - pretty happy with that!

I think those emblems at the top centre simply tell you what type of Pokemon it is.

I've hatched about 15 eggs this week and they've all been crap.

You get bonuses for catching more of the same sort of poke, so maybe they have something to do with that?

I prefer to get new pokemon and evolve some others.

I guess the randomness is all part of the game.

Loads of Pokestops at Alton Towers so I managed to restock up on various items. I also took down a couple of gyms while I was bored in queues, although sadly I had one pokemon left to take a 30,000 gym when the ride arrived and I had to quit the fight, so no xp fpr me.

There seemed to be loads of male and female Nidoran about, as well as plenty of Clefairy and Venonat. Bagged a couple of Eevee as well, which I very rarely see.

Eggs have produced nothing interesting.

Currently got a Nidorino as my buddy. I need 30 more candy to get him evolved.

Hatched a Rhyhorn which gave me enough candy to evolve it. CP is only 1328 but the attacks are 15 and 100 so I can use it for smashing gyms.
