Tweaking the guide to say, 'Red bugs are yours. Green bugs are everyone else's,' would be a good start. @CumbriAndy, @Bob!, and @RRR-CAZ 🇬🇧 put it well.
mk parkrun Dec 2024 5:01pm, 1 Dec 2024 21 posts	Quote Pin mk parkrun I'm obviously colour blind when it comes to reading 'green' and 'red' 😂 Maybe just change the guide image as it's a green bug? The main thing is that it's getting me out for extra activities on different routes to usual
Pothunter Dec 2024 11:06pm, 2 Dec 2024 9,751 posts	Quote Pin Pothunter It is very good for that! I definitely found a number of nice roads that I wouldn’t have otherwise run down thanks to Fetchpoint. Remember that if you get a bug/jewel/traffic light spawn in a place that you can’t safely get to (middle of a lake/golf course/farmer’s field/dual carriageway/etc) you can mark it as inaccessible and nothing will spawn in that spot again. A bug will respawn elsewhere in your circle immediately, jewels however will not.
mk parkrun Dec 2024 2:59pm, 3 Dec 2024 23 posts	Quote Pin mk parkrun Yeah, getting to grips with that. I feel bad but we are on the edge of the city so I moved my homepoint further in. Even so, a fair chunk is fields. No doubt they will all be houses in a couple of years, but for now I am reporting them. With so many along muddy paths and bridleways I'm getting proper use out of my bike as well as ruining my trainers!

Ness Dec 2024 3:35pm, 3 Dec 2024 46,555 posts	Quote Pin Ness My home zone has a quarry which I've had to mark as inaccessible. There are also a few fields and bits of farmland. A couple of the fields have recently been developed and now have housing estates on them. For those I've gone back and marked them as being accessible now. It makes the game more interesting because it increases the number of locations where bugs might be residing. 😉😂
