I move my grid constantly, not that I want to get found or anything *ducks back under cover*

I wouldn't say it was cheating

I never move mine, but that’s because I’m too lazy. If the game allows it, it’s not cheating.

I moved mine when I was a seeker because I can't cover many miles so when I did the same lap of the village, wanted to cover a different part of the grid. It's not cheating, it's playing strategically.

Well, that is very odd. I went to move my grid and found that it was exactly where I thought it was and this morning's run would've taken in the bottom edge of the grid. However, the run as uploaded is shifted to the north and east. Going for a walk now. Lets see where this takes me. |

Ah yes, it's a little tricky, you set it where you want it but it moves slightly so you have to check your seeker grid to see if you've got it where you want it. I like to do it on 2 screens so set it on my phone and check it on my laptop

Found one (sorry Gooner) but again, the route logged in the seeking blog does not align with the grid on my settings. I think I will ask Fetch if he can explain.

I think it's deliberate Diogenes don't want to make it too easy, fairly certain I've seen comments about it previously

When you move your grid, you don't see the exact same resolution as on your seek tab. The home point is the same but then it's scaled upwards, i.e. a square on the edge of the grid on the 'move your grid' page is no longer on the edge on the final grid. I just checked my grid in both views and the grid's edge on 'move your homepoint' seems to be moved about 400-500 m further out in all directions on the 'hide' and 'seek' grids.

I see, it's not just me then. I've never noticed it when seeking in my usual home zone. If I plan a route going through a particular square then it usually matches up
