I believe you'll be glad you did! Since my job is an evening job doing mostly driving, I do have my app active while in the car. BUT, it's mainly for the purpose of hatching the eggs since that part requires "walking". As long as the app is active, during the times that I'm traveling slow enough, the app counts it toward the walking part. Even so, since getting this, instead of going home immediately after eating after I get off work, I'm more likely to stop in downtown Woodstock and literally walk around a few times while playing. There are also some other areas where I can drive to during those wee hours of the morning and capture Pokemon and also collect items at the PokeStops. Some of those areas are vacant parking lots while the stores are closed. So, be sure to check those out if there are any large malls/shopping centers in your area.
So, yes, it has encouraged me to do more walking than what I was accustomed to doing before. And, it does give me rep with my grandkids.
It has begun....
And now I have a handful of critters and need my wife to teach me what to do with all this stuff lol.
AND I didn't even leave the house haha - just put 2 incense out while working on emails for my volunteer job so every now and then my phone would buzz and and I would capture whatever what's there.
By the time I'm done with surgery sure I'll have a handle on the game and be hooked...
More motivation to walk more I tell myself
