If you check their mileage logs they gave up running years ago. ;-)

alpenrose I have a few of those near me - still spawning bugs despite not having logged since 2012 or 2014 in two cases

How about I bombard them with Fetchpoint notifications? :-)

If they haven't logged anything since 2008 they couldn't have joined the game as I believe it didn't start til about 2011 ;)

Just because you can't see any recent training doesn't mean they haven't logged any, it might all be private. Having said that I'm not sure how the game deals with Private runs, would it generate Fetchpoint points (which kind of defeats the object of Private runs!)?

Perhaps the way round the snap-to-grid problem is to make the grid smaller? Looks like it's set to 80m Maybe if it were smaller there'd be less conflicts As it stands although it's generating points for planting flowers it's losing the chance to be picked, watered or harvested at a later date

80m is a trade off that allows us to have inaccessible areas without overloading the data storage.

Seems to be an inactive player near me, gives me an advantage if I hit those bugs & jewels. Like mine, a lot of them are inaccessible but mine are getting better now. Planting flowers in a lake makes me :-) but it takes a long time & then usually lose them all if there's a tri - this game is fun. Best change for me is the cutoff time being changed to midnight

Agree on the midnight cutoff. Works much better IMHO.

I went out of my way down a lane to plant a flower or 2 (and my chain came off for my trouble ;-) ) but none planted where they always used to be as it must be in the circle of one of these invisible people. :-p
