You can also tie your phone to a ceiling fan, if you are brave enough to watch it spin around. Basically, pretty much anything that looks like slow movement will work. This is similar to wearing a fitbit and just moving your arm back and forth (or rocking in a rocking chair) to get "steps".

I have a nice little cheat to hatch eggs while I'm working. The gps signal in my building seems to be spotty, so my guy never settles in one spot. He just wanders around endlessly, back and forth across the block. If I plug it in and set the screen to stay on, I can flip the phone over so no one sees, and he'll rack up the miles by himself.

Screen has to be on for it it to count...you could put game on power save mode and flip phone upside down and it will automatically lower brightness of your screen and show Pokemon go logo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Makes sense. I wondered how people dealt with having their phones on so long when they are out walking miles on end to catch pokemon

As much as I love driving my car, since the release of this game, I find myself parking farther away to my destination and just walking the rest of the way to catch a pokemon or two. Get some exercise and save a bit of fuel. |

EDIT: Putting the phone on a model train track has been shown to work provided again that the track is large enough to register gps movement

Or you tie enough of a string to the fan and your phone to swing it in a big enough arc....like I said if you are brave enough. You could also hook it to your dog's collar, unless like in my case your dog spends more time sleeping than moving....

or just not play, which is what I do.
walking is definitely the better solution if you can devote the time to it. Personally I have no interest in walking around staring at my phone, not to mention my job is unfortunately tied to a chair about 12 hours a day, with commute.

Hey my commute is walking and I'm a "tech savvy" teenager so why not. Plus nostalgia.
