Better tracking

Postby keepitmovin » Mon Mar 19, 2012 8:51 pm

There seems to be a delay between where a wazer appears on my map and where they actually are. Is there a set delay time? Maybe there could be an option to ping my location more frequently? Or for people concerned about privacy they can manually set a delay time? (although they probably aren't too concerned since they are using this app). This may use more battery life but would or should give more accurate locations.

Yep, what you see is apx. 2-4 minutes delayed. This is by design to reduce the load on the servers as well as provide some level of privacy for Wazers. It's appropriate and was never supposed to show you where a Wazer is real time.
