Catching Pokemon Now An Activity Tracked in Google Maps
Google has rolled out a small behind-the-scenes update to Google Maps that acknowledges the phenomenon that is Pokemon. Using the timeline feature in the app, you can now indicate when an activity you were doing was catching Pokemon, just like you can when you are walking, running or doing other activities. The change doesn’t require an update of your Maps app (assuming you have the latest build from the Google Play Store) and you can now edit activities in your timeline as time spent trying to catch them all. While not necessarily super useful, it is fun, especially for those who are into the game (and there are a lot of you into the game!)
