There are a few in an electricity sub-station near me. Don't want to risk getting fried and blacking out part of Sandwell.

I am having problems, I am sure someone else must have had a similar experience by now. I have completed 2 runs where the coins etc on the map are still there after the run and I've received no points (positive or negative) in relation to the runs. Am I coin resistant and also traffic light, bug, random and relay resistant? If so this is a crap mutation and I want a word with Charles Xavier.

i've decided i'm going to report some bugs as inaccessible when i get home (and not using a computer that sounds worse than me after a run) i keep losing points to them, and out of the 4 that are still in my home area 3 i definitley cant get, i didn't mind so much to start with (taking the rough with the smooth and all that) but if when the game starts properly coins are going to start vanishing its going to reduce my limited chances of getting points (i hate being a noob) as my current distance is so low and i've pretty much got most of the coins i can get (they don't regenerate fast enough lol, or if they do they aint where i run). i still love this game though lol

Beanhopper, are you uploading your run from a GPS device? GPS devices only return data at certain intervals and you need to be within 80 metres of a coin at that point to grab it.

If you are drawing it by hand using the add route feature on Fetch then you need to make sure you don't leave big gaps between clicks or you will miss all the coins in between.

Hi TirletDad I am using Garmin to upload runs. I checked the map for coins/lights etc planned route, ran it then uploaded. The distance and route has made it into my training log but had no affect on Fetchpoint when I go into my account it hasn't changed since Tuesday despite having completed 2 further runs since then. When I check the map the coins etc are still there and nothing has changed, both of the runs I am having differculties with are more rural but not remote, 1 was road Draycote Water in Warwickshire the other along the river Dove in Dovedale.

OK. When you upload your runs to Fetch, are you choosing detail? Also, a silly question probably, but have you registered for Fetchpoint so the system recognises you?

How about having a two part token where the the prize is awarded only when both parts are collected. Say, a key and a chest.
(Oh all right-"a key and a chest")

Huh?! Apparently I paid rent on my own lights, and they haven't refreshed back to 100 :(

@TripletDad yes I do upload detail and I am registered, when I run at home (Leamington spa) around the town I don't seem to get any problems but when I do the more rural or away from town runs it doesn't seem to like it.

Apologies, it's not written in the order that I passed throught them, the ones I own have refreshed and the other one wasn't at 0 so charged me 42
