Incense spawn

Hi there,

I have read this about the incense: "While moving, every 200 meters you travel allows you to increase spawn rate to 1 Pokémon a minute."

How can you confirm this information? How can you difference between the pokemon spawn by the incense and those ones available for anyone?
Is the GPS counting the distance you travel correctly? I means, doing circles in a square would work or you need to keep walking straigh ahead to make sure you get this?

Thanks.

Per question #1, it's probably in the data, a direct inference, and not a deduction.

Per question #2, I don't know, but I've heard that distance is registered every minute. The game could maybe track distance changes according to gps changes but only register them every minute, or they could perhaps record walking patterns for a minute and then zero them out from the ledger on the minute with your distance gains.

"While moving, every 200 meters you travel allows you to increase spawn rate to 1 Pokémon a minute."

This came from someone reading the game code. There has been mixed results when people try to confirm this. It seem to work for some people, at least.

pokemon spawned by incense have the same purple aura around them....

just trust the data, cmon. and yes gps is not the perfect technology to track your movement. but try your best and do not dwell on the KM that did not get tracked

I used incense today while walking and I can safely say that incense sucks. I got a pidgey or rat every 5/10 mins and then a zubat before it ran out. Personally i think stationary or moving makes little to no difference and I'm unlucky.
