The way you use the nearby box is...
1. Open box, look for Pokemon you want
2. Walk around till that Pokemon changes spots.
2a. If it moves toward the top left, keep walking that direction.
2b. If it moves away or off the list. Turn around and try a different direction. Go back to 2.
3. Once close enough the "tracks" will drop to 2 steps. It should be pretty easy to find at that point.
3a. Less steps? Keep going till zero.
3b. More steps? Turn around, try a different direction.
That's really it. Top left is closest to your location, bottom right is farthest WHEN THE NEARBY LIST IS OPEN. When the nearby list is closed the RIGHTMOST Pokemon is closest whereas the LEFTMOST is farther away.

Got that info from serebii. My bad for getting people excited.
My issue is that 1 track is like less than a block, 2 tracks is 1-2 blocks, and 3 tracks can be anywhere over 4-5 blocks.
3 track on the radar are almost impossible to track down effectively.
By my estimation, it's 100 feet per paw/print. 3 paws is 300 feet at its closest but because it uses three paws for everything beyond 300 feet, I don't know what the max is for it to still be visible on the list.
I imagine its by circular distance, so maybe within 600 feet in any given direction.
I've been playing for several hours per day since the day before it officially launched in the US and here's my data usage:

Weird cause I only spotted mostly women playing in NYC. Maybe like a 4:1 ratio playing Go.
Surprisingly incredibly minimal
Yeah I get issues but it's rare, huge huge improvement, especially for a weekend

It's a pain, yeah, especially if there aren't a lot of Pokemon to use as references. I went for a walk tonight and ran into a dead zone and everything was 3 steps the entire way. I gave up trying to find anything at that point as I was way off track.
That's what happened to me looking for a Rhyhorn and Abra silhouettes. 7 other pokemon were on my radar and everything was 3 tracks.
Ended up finding a Machoke instead which just literally appeared out of nowhere.
Thanks.
Yeah i just started playing it since yesterday and I've only used 20megabytes.
There's a shitload of rhyhorns, grolithes and sandshrews by my house. If I walk towards the freeway I can catch zubats and geodudes.
I spent a good amount of time with my sister trying to find a charmander. It dissappeared after we stopped to catch a ponyta

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
That was me just a few minutes ago trying to find a slowpoke near my work. But I was on a bike. I did get a couple magikarps... Only 130 more to catch! The slowpoke got away though.
I have a Samsung SGH-T999L and the google play store says it's not compatible with Pokemon Go. I went through a software update today, but it only got up to Android 4.3. Is there any hope of Pokemon Go being brought out to an expanded range of devices in the future, or a way to get my smartphone up to android 4.4.4, or am I just out of luck?
Out of luck unless you go custom ROM. I know someone with a galaxy note ii that flashed a 5.0 ROM just for this game but the GPS wigs out too frequently, so he uses a galaxy note 8 tab instead.
Edit: also disable superuser or find a ROM that's not rooted otherwise you may get in trouble. Other games like Summoners War bans accounts if they detect Super User access.

Pokemon Go on Twitch is hilariously awful. Why even stream the game if you're going to be doing something else for the majority of the time? Dudes are playing rocketleague.

I wasn't out at 3am, but I couldn't sleep and kept periodically checking Go from my bed. I even found a wild pidgey that invaded my bedroom!
I've finally spotted a pokéspot in my town, which was actually visible (but not useable) from my house all along. Unfortunately the route to the train station is rather inefficient.
Edit:
What region are you in? If you're not in a country its been released in, the game will show up as incompatible on all your devices regardless.

I saw a Dratini but when I tapped it the game just said "Error".
Happy to help. Just working on moves and further levels now
If anyone wants to help & fill in gaps, just wing me a message

It's a shame how many streamers just sit at their desk spamming incense. One guy was GPS bouncing with incense the other day.
I do enjoy those streams of people actually going outside and streaming their adventures. Those are always pretty cool. Not many though.

Holy hell this game is popular.
Out at 7pm in winter on a sunday to walk the dog cough cough just happened to walk past a pokemon gym and while I was there, inside 15 minutes, I saw maybe 3 groups and two individuals all turn up and try to look casual as they were staring at their screen. Its insane.
So then I walked off until a desirable three footprint pokemon moved up the list and tracked it down like I was looking for MH370.

Went out tonight around 11pm until 2ish. There was about 10-15 people playing in a cemetery up the road from me. They had set some lures up and we were chatting about what pokemon we'd seen and the gym that was nearby. There was even a cop driving around playing.
Caught a couple slowpokes and a bunch of magikarp with the lures.

My baby. It's my strongest Pokemon and the first one I've named. Hope to take some gyms soon.
Your level does affect the Pokemon that show up. The higher your level the higher the chance of you finding rarer Pokemon.
Hmm, I barely reached level 10. That explains it. I must have been lucky catching that near 600 CP Snorlax then without a Lure or incense.

How can I check a gym I claimed if I'm nowhere near it anymore? Should it be in my pokemon or something?

Almost in the AM, i check the app and all of a sudden i see a Dragonair three steps away from me.
I dropped all my food to go get it but in the end the damn server problems screwed me over.
Still though, who the fuck runs out of their house at night to catch a pokemon lol. This fucking game man, amazing.

I overheard a few 20 something bros outside my window today looking for Pokemon in an alleyway. I haven't been so happy to be a Nintendo fan for a long time <3
I don't think you can but if you lost the tower, your submitted Pokemon should return to your inventory with low hp. If your monster is still there, check your list and you'll see it has a little gym icon attached to its picture. The icon will be gone if it lost. Otherwise, if the gym not visible on the map, you can't check it's status as of yet.

Haha, no problem! Glad I could help. I just figured it out myself earlier today hunting a Meowth.
