Has anyone figured out a way to play this with a wifi-only ipad? Apparently wifi iPads don't have gps but location services gives a rough idea of your location.
I was just wondering if you go to a cafe with wifi that is a Pokestop for example, would you be able to interact with it?
Yes. The gist is that you need to "refresh" your location approximately every 20 seconds by tabbing out of the game - double tap the circle button, then tap once more to re-enter the game. This helps prevent the GPS error, and doing this right before "clicking" on a Pokémon will extend your time limit to catch one (as in, time limit before a GPS error pops up). If you do get a GPS error while you are in capture mode, your Poké Ball can freeze (can't be touched or moved), and you have to reset the app to fix that. Close the app and reload it if this happens.
Also, constantly refreshing your GPS location with the tabbing method does move your trainer slightly, even if you aren't physically moving, which can help the bedbound, agoraphobic, or otherwise disabled gamer. (Of course, they might also maddeningly walk entirely the wrong direction as well!)
The biggest two tips I wish I had known before beginning:
1) Pinch your map so your trainer is tiny, this extends your range in which a Pokémon can be selected for capture mode without you having to move around a lot.
2) Throw the ball into the moving/contracting circle. It is easier when it is bigger if you have a lot of latency problems. This can net you a small bonus to capture it and a bit of EXP.
And a freebie tip: if you don't go to/live near any Poké Stops, you will run out of balls eventually. It happened to me today at level 7.
