Here are some tips to play the hit game Pokemon Go in a car without causing accidents.
The mobile game needs a player's complete attention. Also, driving needs a player's complete attention. There is the augmented reality mode, and players can leave the feature on to put Pokemon on a backdrop of whatever is in front of them.
Problem is players are then concentrating on capturing the creature instead of the background of reality. Therefore, players should keep their car in park if they are going to do anything in Pokemon Go. They should not play Pokemon Go itself unless their vehicle is parked safely.
A good thing about the Pokemon Go interface is that it gives players a map. Gamers can tap on further away Pokestops and gyms to see where they are before they are in range. They can figure out where they would like to go next without the app distracting them from the task of driving.
Players should find some points of interest, note them down or put them in their vehicle's navigation unit. After that, they should drive there. Players should park their car in a safe location and should ensure to follow all applicable parking and traffic laws as they generally would.
According to an iDigitalTimes report, Pokemon Go drains a completely charged smartphone in three hours. Luckily, most cars come with power outlets, therefore, a player's car is well-suited for hunting Pokemon. Once players have their next Pokestop determined, they should plug their device in, throw it on silent, and forget about it till their next stop.
Players who are tempted by smartphone sounds should hide it in a cubbyhole. Those who have no self-control should stick their device in the trunk.
According to reports, the app is limited to 20 kmph. Players should have the app on and hidden in their vehicle as it will log that short bit of travel under 12 mph. However, gamers should not expect it to hatch eggs faster.
If players have an egg to hatch, they should drive to a park that has some stops in it. They should choose Pokestops that coincide with other errands they have to do.
Once players are at a stop and have captured all the new Pokemon they can, they can begin the process all over again.
Players can strap their device to a radio-controlled car to hatch eggs. A good radio controlled car has plenty of range and they can drive slowly enough that Pokemon Go does not see it as just being inside a vehicle.
According to The Telegraph, the game is now available to download in the United Kingdom.
