Pokemon GO calculates distance by tracking your phone's GPS location as you move. Think of it like a fitness tracker, but with more Pikachu!

From my experience, it’s all about GPS tracking. Just walk around, and you’ll see those kilometers adding up in the app!

Honestly, GPS does all the work. Your phone pings satellites, and then Pokemon GO tallies up those steps, so get walking!

Hot take: The game tracks distance better than I do after a morning coffee – all thanks to the phone's built-in GPS.
