Grast_girl 3 Jun 6:48pm, 3 Jun 2025 3,380 posts	Quote Pin Grast_girl I think as long as the old Fetchpoint is still playable, Fetchpoint 2.0 sounds good. The only issue I have is not being able to mark areas as inaccessible as quite a lot of my local area is exactly that.

Bright Strider 3 Jun 8:09pm, 3 Jun 2025 443 posts	Quote Pin Bright Strider I live in a village in the countryside, and a lot of the space nearby is inaccessible to me, similarly to @Grast_girl. Having both would mean people could play the one that suits their situation. Descriptive names would be good. Perhaps FetchPointGeo and FetchPointTron.

Dvorak 3 Jun 9:39pm, 3 Jun 2025 28,824 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak I'm trying to figure this out. A shared grid, as in WSW? Where everybody sees the same items, in the same place on the grid? If I am correct, two observations. If peoples' home points are centred on their homes, as I suspect most are, there will be an awful lot of action in the centre of the map (which I'm presuming will have to be bigger than the existing mile circle) and not so much at the edges. And I think it will favour even more players in very urbanised areas over small towns or rural. (Of course, I might be working off a completely wrong premise.) I'm a bit different as I live to one side of the urbanisation, so my home point is placed about half a mile away, to maximise streets and minimise fields.

I'm a bit different as I live to one side of the urbanisation, so my home point is placed about half a mile away, to maximise streets and minimise fields. I’m the same - I have my home spot to the South of me so my actual house is a few metres outside of the circle. 90% of the time, I head South into the circle

fetcheveryone 4 Jun 9:32am, 4 Jun 2025 31,871 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone @LanaD if you're still plotting your routes manually, make sure you click plenty of points around the location of the bug. If it falls between two clicks, it may not get picked up. Not usually a problem for GPS watches, as they typically record one point per second. Oh, and obviously make sure you make it outside your mile circle
