Speed

[Reach40]

Im currently using jogging speed which is set to 10.8kmph. I was wondering if i increased to driving speed which is 50kmph will it help me level up quicker ?

It will, definitely. I use it as well.

Nope. There are more people worldwide who are using pokemon go while driving.

Cos i havnt been softbanned so far due to the fact i stay in the same location at low speeds

I use it since release and never got softbanned. I think if you get banned it´s because of the catch rate of 90%+ and not for driving 50km/h fast.

Until i actually see bans, i am trying to use it smart. I am using Jogging speed because tbh you can power walk at that speed almost, taking the odd breaks and disconnecting all together some times. Im also logging in on my phone, missing thows, letting Pokemon escape etc, to bring down my % catch chance and make it look more Human. At least then if i still get banned i know that i couldnt have done much else to blend in lol.

It's a free to play game. Being overcautious when there's no reason to believe that 50km/h will get you banned seems a waste of time to me.

I use walking/jogging/bike speeds when I'm farming in parks and driving speed when I'm walking around cities. Driving speed is a pretty noticeable difference when it comes experience.
I don't think the speed really matters much when it comes to niantic and bans. You could always just switch it up here and there.

he also drives trough the park. so driving is a strange behaviour. if you use bike its most realistic. people talk about its no problem but banning is not there priority atm, but after the stability of the game it will be most centainly. The bot also uses breaks, so with bike speed its realistic. with the care you cant just take brakes in the middle of the road.
