Apple Watch Series 2: submersible, with GPS and Pokémon Go

If there is a game that has triumphed this summer that's Pokémon GO. The development of Niantic, which uses the known creatures of Nintendo, has been a real "bomb" and millions of users who have decided to try to learn what is able to offer augmented reality. But the truth is that all the good that offers should not hide some flaws you have, as you have just met.


And, the truth is that what happens is important for the proper Pokemon Go Location Hack and other applications, as it has to do with the proper functioning of the GPS, responsible for locating the user terminals. And, therefore, on which the development knows the place where it is and, in this way, if there pokémon that can be hunted in the environment. There is nothing.
Specifically, what happens is that the precision of this component is no longer adequate, so that its operation is erratic and reliability is lost. And besides, the Pokémon GO run in the background, this keeps up ... so it affects other developments, such as Google Maps, which becomes an added problem, of course.


An illustrative example
The logical question that once it is known that this is so appears, is: How big is the deviation and the consequent loss of accuracy? For the truth it is that yes, it has published an example in which the left side you can see a tour conducted a follow-up development exercise without affecting Pokémon GO and on the right is the one that is the game running in the background. The truth is that the fault is more than evident.
 Pokémon failure GO
It is seen that the error occurs with all terminals, since by the time this is unknown, and may not happen as some detected in the game Pokémon GO. But, it is recommended, it is that Niantic is positioned to respect -for now has not done- and in case of actual loss of precision to take measures as soon as possible with an update.


The second new weight of the presentation Wednesday was the Apple Watch Series 2, which will include the new watchOS 3 operating system also available for the first model and includes significant performance improvements. The new watch has the same appearance as the old, which means it can be used with the same belts, but has greatly improved its technical characteristics.

In addition, the new Apple Watch includes geolocation by GPS, allowing in a few months a version of Pokémon Go compatible with the device, a game that has broken record of downloads and has led to hordes of people to pursue characters launches this universe created in Japan in the late 90 worldwide. This app for the Apple watch will consider how and where you have walked, allowing collect in pokeparádas and alert you when there is a pokémon close so we can catch him from the iPhone.

The presentation has moved the center of the efforts of the company's luxury sport sector. So, it focused on the possibilities of Apple Watch to record and plan exercise routines, with the aim of winning the emerging market for such services, which have become popular devices like Fitbit.
