Does Pokemon GO Count Distance When Driving?

Ever wondered if Pokemon GO tracks your distance while you’re driving? Well, let’s get right into it.

Let’s dive into whether Pokemon GO records the distance you travel when driving around in your car.

Short Answer: Not Really

Pokemon GO aims to encourage walking and exploring outside. Because of this, the game doesn’t really track distance when you’re driving fast. It’s made for walking, jogging, or maybe biking at slow speeds.

The game uses your phone’s GPS to figure out how far you’ve moved. But it’s smart! If you’re moving faster than a speed it thinks is too fast for a person to be walking or running (around 10.5 km/h or 6.5 mph), it might not count that distance. This means, in most cases, distance covered while driving a car doesn’t add up.

What Does This Mean for Pokemon GO Fans?

For those who love playing Pokemon GO, this encourages us to get outside and move! It keeps the spirit of the game alive – exploring, exercising, and catching Pokemon. So, lace up those sneakers, grab your phone, and start adventuring on foot to get the most out of your Pokemon GO experience.
