Do I need to follow Pokémon GO cooldown rules when using the joystick nearby?

Continuous movement over a short distance at a realistic walking speed is different from instantly teleporting across a city. However, location-based actions such as catching Pokémon, spinning PokéStops, battling in Gyms, or joining Raid Battles may still be affected by cooldown rules. Check the time and place of your last in-game action before moving.

What virtual joystick speed looks natural?

Use a normal walking speed for short-distance exploration. For longer trips, choose a cycling or driving preset, or simulate a route. Match the speed to the activity and avoid sustained speeds that would look unrealistic.

Why does my character jump between the virtual and real locations?

This can happen when another location app is running, your phone refreshes its real GPS position, or the connection between your computer and mobile device becomes unstable. Close other location tools, reconnect the device, and check location permissions.

What should I do if the joystick moves but my in-game character does not?

First, confirm that the virtual position is moving on the LocaChange map. Then check that the game or app has location permission. If needed, pause movement, turn location permission off and back on, or restart the app.

Will my real location return immediately after I close LocaChange?

The recovery method depends on your device and connection mode. Start with LocaChange's location recovery option. If the original location does not return, restart your mobile device so the system can reacquire its real GPS position.
