What is a Route?
A route in Pokémon GO is a path that leads you to a specific destination. Routes can be created by other players or by the game itself. They can take you to PokéStops, Gyms, or even rare Pokémon.
How to Find a Route
There are two ways to find a route in Pokémon GO. You can either search for one using the in-game search bar or browse the routes created by other players. To search for a route, simply type the name of the destination into the search bar. A list of routes that match your search will appear. To browse routes created by other players, tap on the “Routes” tab in the bottom menu. You can then filter the routes by destination, length, and difficulty.
How to Follow a Route
Once you’ve found a route, it’s time to follow it. To do this, simply tap on the “Start” button. Your avatar will start walking along the route. As you walk, you’ll see blue arrows on the map that indicate the direction you need to go. You can also tap on the “Route Details” button to see a step-by-step guide of the route.
Tips for Following a Route
Here are a few tips for following a route in Pokémon GO:
- Use a GPS app. A GPS app can help you track your location and stay on the route. There are many different GPS apps available, so choose one that suits your needs.
- Bring a power bank. Following a route can drain your phone’s battery, so it’s important to bring a power bank to keep your phone charged.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Don’t get so caught up in following the route that you forget to pay attention to your surroundings. Be aware of traffic, other pedestrians, and any other potential hazards.
