Why does every article fail to mention that the ingame map only updates once every 3 years or so? And that this griefing is most likely done once per person, until they find out that the game isn’t updated? (Because it’s not sensational)
I wish I thought of this before getting rid of the phone…
I, and a friend of mine also experienced this. I believe it started after the “final” update, but there’s no way to know. Needless to say i won’t ever buy, or recommend, a google device ever again.
So LED screens are basically just 25 inc lamps?
It does not. But it means they are trying to limit the damage caused by griefers, and moreso than just displaying a popup message with “please don’t grief openstreetmaps” or something. Imagine how bad it would be if changes to openstreetmaps actually were immediately imported into the game…
