The multiple clicks are probably what messed up my bug snatching last night.

I only just worked out that if I click on the markers in the list on the Your Account page list, it takes me to the map with that marker circled. That's a useful feature, thank you.
I like the 80m circles in red too, much easier to see than grey on the satellite picture.

Without any reference at all to any commercially-available game, can we have a "get out of jail free" prize on a random spot, which will let us pass the next traffic light? We could call it "You are an honorary cyclist for one red traffic light".

I see dark thoughts in a Fetchie's mind.

Lord Fetch, just had a strange run/result for this game. I did a 1.01 mile 'dog run' that should have picked up 3 coins, but only 1 one was picked up. I certainly ran through the 80m red circles for the run (probably within 20-30m for each one) but they didnt pick up. Looking at my route on the 'Routes' functionality I would have thought they should have picked up. I believe my Garmin is set to record a point every second (I only run at normal speeds!).

Any idea's if this is a bug or a user issue?

Thanks,

Mark

I've just been out to round up 4 bugs and found that the track recorded by my Forerunner 205 on my wrist was about 200m away from my true track so I missed them all.
I don't get this problem with the Edge 305 on my handlebars. I should stick to cycling.

Quick question - if I change/move my home location (i.e. I often run from work and home in two locations) will it reset anything? Will I lose any points?

Re cycling/running - I've just done a 24 mile bike ride - I got around 500 points. Yesterday I did a 6 mile run, and got 1400 points. Only useful thing was moving bugs/relays longer distances.

Would it be possible to have a permanent feature like a traffic light, but that generates points for those that pass by it as well as the owner?

Zeb, I notice you have installed your own traffic light right near the L&DR meeting point in Hykeham :(

Look forward to sending 100 points your way later on ;)
