Niantic Supply has updated their website and confirmed that the X Series Bio Cards will contain passcodes for new medals! It is still unclear if the 3 Mystery Character or Bio Cards that will be randomly found in the kits will also contain passcodes for medals.

Agents in the US lead by Agent @GreatwhiteLover, having observed the lack of BannerRuck events lately, have prepared a very nice unofficial event for the month of May!

The event consists in a 5, 10 or 15 KM virtual trek, while completing an Ingress Banner. You can participate from anywhere in the world (outside of the US, the ticket is a bit more expensive) and however you want: running, walking, biking, crawling...!

Participants have a cool woven patch shipped home for their participation!

Signups close at the end of April. If you have any questions or need additional info, visit https://runsignup.com/Race/TX/Houston/HoustonIngressChallengeTrek or contact @GreatwhiteLover!

Niantic has published the release notes for version 2.92.1!

Two new types of Dynamic Links are added: Profiles and Missions! These can be shared with others so that the scanner will open them directly when you tap the link. These are now available in addition to the existing Portal Dynamic Links.

Should the user not have Ingress installed, they'll be redirected to their respective App Store to download Ingress when opening a Dynamic Link. Profile data is not available outside of Ingress.

Ingress has also been updated to the Unity 2020 LTS version and a few bugs have been fixed, such as a crash when uploading new photos and a visual bug where a rare Battle Beacon showed 5 checkpoints on the map instead of 3.

Are you living in Germany and want to visit the Superposition anomaly in Munich? You can use the 9-Euro-Ticket as a cheap and easy way to travel from anywhere within Germany to Munich!

The 9-Euro-Ticket is an initiative of the German government. As part of the energy relief package, it was agreed that users of local public transport in Germany would be able to travel for 9 euros a month for three months.

Our colleagues at @IUGER have posted a small information post, take a look at it for more information regarding the ticket!

Wayfarer is getting its own app!

Niantic has announced that they are working on a mobile app for Wayfarer. The beta version will have the ability to scan Wayspots, as you can already do in Ingress and Pokemon GO. It will also feature a map that will show you Wayspots nearby. This is a nice feature for agents who regularly submit Wayspots, as this map will also show Wayspots that don't show up in Ingress due to the distance to other portals being too short.

Developers using the Niantic Lightship platform, as well as Wayfarer Ambassadors, will be testing this app in early beta. New users will then be invited later this year.

More news will be available during the Lightship Summit, which will be held May 24 and May 25 in the U.S.
