Niantic has announced a new feature available at the start for only some Agents:

"Portal Scanning is an opt-in feature that allows Level 16 and recursed Agents in the US to upload Portal Scans that contain the following information:

* recorded images and lighting conditions
* time and location of the Portal Scan
* how the mobile device moved during the Portal Scan
* mobile device and camera specs

Multiple Portal Scans can be taken at each Portal, and can help our team of researchers with different camera angles and positions. To help you keep note of your Portal research progress, successfully uploaded and approved Portal Scans will count towards a new Scout medal:

* Bronze: 50 Portal Scans
* Silver: 250
* Gold: 1,000
* Platinum: 3,000
* Onyx: 6,000

Similar to our multiphased app releases, which release to more Agents over time, we’ll also open Portal Scanning to more Agents, Access Levels, and countries as soon as we’re able.

Finally, we also plan to host non-competitive, cross-faction photo walk events to meet with Agents, answer questions, and demonstrate how to upload high-quality Portal Scans. More details on these photo walks are coming soon, so stay tuned."

Today is Hexathlon Day!

We would like to remind you to hack the registration Portal: it will be ornamented for 1.5 hours before the start. Doing so will enable you to compete for the Perpetua Hexathlon Badge and the Elite Medal!

To obtain the Hexathlon Badge you'll need to complete all these 6 challenges (any Portal counts):

• Destroy 6 enemy Resonators
• Deploy (not Upgrade) 30 Resonators
• Gain 30 Glyph Hack Points
• Make 36 successful Portal Hacks
• Deploy 5 Mods on friendly Portals
• Acquire 6 Artifacts (Artifacts are Media items dropping from specially-ornamented Portals during the Event window. A map of these portals will be dropped by the Registration Portal)

To obtain the Elite Medal you will need to reach the top 10% in any of the challenges' Leaderboard.

Although some Events have already started in the APAC region... It's time to move: good luck, Agents!

In other news:

According to Brian Rose, in the Hexathlon Chat for San Antonio, TX, USA, the Scanner "may have an issue with rounding/showing inaccurate Elite status, and the email sent at the end of the hexathlon is the source of truth used for [awarding] the event medal."

Niantic is currently investigating the issue. Updates will follow when and if available.

@IUENG

The Hexathlon in Milan was sadly cancelled...

But we were in the city and had a great time all the same!
