Why won't Pokemon appear without restarting Pokemon Go? [duplicate]
When I drive around in a car with friends or sit at a Pokestop with lures, Pokemon don't always appear for me. All my friends seem to get Pokemon popping up, they end up having to tell me so I can restart the app and get them to show as well.
Also when we drive around, my character sometimes runes off from the path were going, while theirs run perfectly straight. so I pretty much cannot play the game other than sitting at Pokestops and restarting the app every 3 minutes.
Why is this? It is extremely annoying and is only happening to me. Any idea why? I have a iPhone 5s.

Any other friend having the same phone as you. It sounds like your phone's GPS isn't as good as your friends' and it simply can' t keep up properly. Try running a maps app next time to see if I'm right.

Is there any reason to keep duplicate Pokemon in Pokemon Go?
Don't Ignore DuplicatesCatching duplicates still nets you XP, as well as stardust and Pok\xe9mon-specific candy -- both of which are necessary for powering up and evolving your Pok\xe9mon.What happens if you catch the same Pokemon twice?
And capturing the same Pok\xe9mon can also help you evolve the Pok\xe9mon that are not yet evolved and make your current Pok\xe9mon stronger. Every time you catch one, you get three candies for that specific Pok\xe9mon and 100 points of stardust.How do you get repeated Pokemon in Pokemon Go?
To find out if you have a duplicate, simply click the icon in the lower right and change to sort by #. Sorting by recent can be a great way to see what you caught recently (like if an egg hatched but the game crashed before you could see what it was).Why WON'T they REMOVE THIS!?!?!
