"Pokemon Go" developer Niantic Labs had officially made the new Pokemon nearby tracker available beyond San Francisco. The news has been confirmed through "Pokemon Go" official Twitter account. Though the improved Pokemon nearby tracker is yet to be available for everybody, more "Pokemon Go" players outside San Francisco are given the chance to test the feature.
"Pokemon Go" new nearby tracker is now accessible to Pokemon trainers in some parts of Arizona and Seattle according to the Twitter post. Some "Pokemon Go" players replied on the tweet that they were able to access the said tracker. A Twitter user even specified that she was able to access the new "Pokemon Go" nearby tracker in Tucson, Arizona.
Trainers in parts of Arizona, the Seattle area of Washington state, and the rest of the SF Bay area can now test the Nearby Pokémon feature.

"Pokemon Go's" new tracker system is said to be an improved version of the initial tracker launched by Niantic Labs. The refreshed tracker notifies the player of the PokeStops where Pokemon are near, TechCrunch reported. The former "Pokemon Go" tracker only lets players see footprints of Pokemon giving them an idea of the distance and location of nearby Pokemon.
It seems that Niantic Labs is working hard to give the demands of players in the past few months. After the recently released update that replaced Pidgey, Rattata and Zubat with some rare Pokemon that delighted most of the fans, here comes the possibility that more trainers will be able to use a real Pokemon tracker developed by Niantic. Hopefully, the "Pokemon Go" developer continues releasing updates that will prove useful to avid players of the hit mobile app.
Meanwhile, apart from the new "Pokemon Go" nearby tracker, some third party scanners such as FastPokeMap, PokeAlert and PokeWhere are now up and running once again. It can be recalled that these trackers temporarily shut down due to some technical issues, including Niantic Labs' security update that apparently blocked access to the game's API. Fortunately, the third party tracker developers were able to find a way to access "Pokemon Go's" servers again.
"Pokemon Go" remains to be one of the most played mobile game as of this posting. What can you say about the recent updates from Niantic Labs? In the meantime, check out the "Pokemon Go" nearby tracker beta version below.
