There's a new Pokestop near me that was approved in the last few weeks. Unfortunately the reviewer didn't bother spellchecking it, so I hope you're all interested in learning about the American Heroes Plague. :doh:

I live in the largest historical preservation district in Oklahoma. Other than the two storey outhouse expect gifts from lots of Victorian architecture, plaques commemorating Oklahoma statehood, and churches. Oh, and old advertising murals like White Owl Cigars and Coca Cola.

Also an update on that unattainable pokestop: Niantic pretty much told me to get hosed.

Navingating the EX Raid system is a pain at times, but I think figuring it out and helping locals get their first Mewtwo is actually pretty fun.

You people and your living right on top of Pokestops :argh:

I've been seeking out potential new things to submit as portals/stops recently. Our town participates in Little Free Libraries so there's a few of those I can add. There's also a modest POW memorial flagpole on my street.

I just wish I had a high enough Ingress level to do any of that.

Did they remove the feature that allowed you to look where your gift came from on google maps?

I'm sure it was there the other day but now I don't see the button for it anymore, or is it only certain stops that will let you do that?

Hot tip: If you select a gift to send/receive, mash the X button immediately after clicking "Open" or "Send" and it will back out to the friend menu but still process the action. It skips the animation for the gift opening or postcard being sent, but you can always check the journal afterwards for a recap of what you've received. You can save dozens of seconds by powering through your friend's gifts this way.

I wish there was a sorting option for people you can send a gift to.

Honestly I kind of thought this for a while. The EX pass was totally random. I went downtown to meet a friend for drinks after work and saw a raid so I hit it while I waited. Couple days later, ex pass comes through in the morning. I'd never even been to that gym before that.

Well, I just found out that one of the gyms nearby is at some kind of...art shop thing? There's like 15 people that work there and play Pogo. They've created a schedule of when each team is allowed to hold the gym to guarantee them coins during the week.

If an outsider of the wrong team knocks the gym down, the two other teams dogpile it immediately and turn it gray.

I think I said it before in here, our Discord has a channel for asking others to knock your pokemon out of gyms. It's great

It's very good.

Apparently Niantic added in some Go+ internal debugging tools with the latest update. Hopefully we'll see improved performance with the Go+ and the Gotcha in later updates.

I just wish they'd increase the 1 hour timeout, or let you set the time yourself.

Nope, that's definitely something deliberate by Niantic. Bluetooth headsets and sensors will stay paired with a phone for multiple hours (or until their batteries run flat :v:).

That's missing for me too. I went up to Seattle for a concert today and totally spaced opening gifts and quests for the first time ever, but I did manage to hit the stop by my house and caught something with the plus so those steaks are alive...
