Has ANYONE figured out if there's a more useful way to use the Nearby radar? Because it's been pretty much fucking useless unless it pops up a Pokemon with no steps that I can nab immediately.
There's absolutely no way to tell which direction you need to travel to find the Pokemon besides playing a game of hot-cold with the number of steps, but the problem with THAT is that the distance you need to go in order to see a change in the number of steps shown is absolutely absurd. I had a Staryu with three steps on my Nearby while I was halfway across town, and when I finally got home (maybe about 5 miles drive) the thing was STILL there and STILL had three steps left.
