As Fetch says in the guide, 'If you don't have a GPS watch, you can map your route manually. Make sure your clicks are close together.' If your clicks don't correspond to near enough to a half-mile point, Fetchpoint can't give you a flower. fetcheveryone.com/game-fetchpoint-guide.php

BrightStrider Apr 2020 7:40am, 30 Apr 2020 47 posts	0 BrightStrider Old Croc, if you vary your route on the way, the flowers should be planted in different places, because you reached the half mile points in different places. See my explanation above, for more details.
Old Croc Apr 2020 8:53am, 30 Apr 2020 31,092 posts	0 Old Croc Thanks BS, I start all runs from home at mo and as I live in a cul de sac and onto main road that probably explains the first few half mile markers always being same. Might have to start some runs out back lane rather than out front door - the extra bit of busy road not as big an issue under current conditions.
