Pokemon GO has a new update where gamers can now find an easier way to catch their favorite Pokemon. The company, Niantic, released it on August 8th, 2016, naming it the "Nearby Tracker."
According to CNET, the Nearby Tracker is more favorable for other users in tracking Pokemons because no only does it work, but it also makes it easier than the previous tracking methods. This version includes a feature in which the Pokemons that are in your current location will be displayed on a list alongside the PokeStops that you must go to in order to find them.

To use the new version of the tracker, simply select the Pokemon that you wish to track by tapping on the view button and the map screen will appear. The screen will then focus on the point that the PokeStop exists in relativity to your current location. If you are not quick enough in finding your way to the highlighted location, the tracker will warn you that the Pokemon is starting to leave the area.
While this new feature of Pokemon GO is still considered to be in its beta testing phases, the team at DroidLife has predicted that its full release which would make the tracker available to all players will launch in the very near future. The fact that it is still in its beta testing phase could explain why some players have stated to hold the preference of using only one of the tracking systems. Meanwhile, other players are reported to hold the preference of using both tracking systems.
