Yeah the very first tracker was fantastic, really helpful, the thing which is there now is just a tease of pokemon around you that you are basically going to miss out on, the most annoying factor with the current thing if you are walking down a street and see something appear... it could have spawned behind you, so you will think that you have encountered it as you are going one way, then continue down the path to find it, Only to of course be moving in the wrong direction.
TMs would be really great for PoGo especially in area's where the game is less popular because it would allow you to customize moves of good Pokemon to take out rivals who love dropping junk like Dragonites in Gyms, have a Dewgong with Ice breath now though.... he is 1.6k but can solo down a 3.3k Dragonite and still have HP left over.

Yeah, I've been having problems with the new tracker system as well. It's too often when a pokemon I'm seeking looks to be close by, but then suddenly disappears complete, only to them appear right in front of me. I don't know if it's my GPS, or something acting up, but it's pretty frustrating when that pokemon just keeps moving around randomly and you have no clue where it is.
And hopefully some sort of move changing becomes a thing. I'm still trying to set up a counter team to face off any challenges from other gyms, but I'm still missing some core types, like ice and fairy. Being able to change moves would def help that.

That thing with Pokemon on the Sightings dissappearing isn't caused by the gps or your phone it's 100% down to the game, don't forget also now that Pokemon on the nearby are no longer unique... as in if you look at it you would only ever see the 1 Pidgey even if there is 20 within the 200square meters around you, only the closest one will show up, often the dissappear reappear is when a Pokemon on there has timed out, allowing another one of the same type to appear on your nearby instead, if you also only ever use this sightings to try to find something it is just not fit for purpose because of the way it works.
Say if you have
(West) Pidgey 50m - Weedle 25m - Eevee 20m - You - Pidgey 10m - Eevee 25m (East)
Obviously on the nearby you are going to see a Pidgey as the closest thing to you, but if you move in the direction of West you will encounter an Eevee before the pidgey, but when you get to that Eevee and catch it, the Sightings will update and place another Eevee near you... but now in the No3 position because you are moving away from it, so you might think that because you were moving one direction and encountered a Eevee which would have been the 2nd closest thing to you, it would make sense that for there to now be another Eevee in that same spot behind a Weedle which you would be in range of seeing, it only makes sense that he would be further West... even though that will take you away from it.
That of course is just the flaws if the world was 2d... which it isn't chances are there is going to be Pokemon on adjacent streets which will always be interfering with trying to apply logic to the Sightings system in game, which just means the best way to find stuff in PoGo is just to wander aimlessly and as quickly as possible, so it looks like you are basically strangest hobo in the world in a rush to get somewhere.
Also people talking about Rhyhorns being rare.... I've seen 1 in 500+ KM of walking with PoGo.
