09:58: We also have details of how the game looks on the smartphone when the device is connected. When it is, an image of the GO Plus hovers on screen. When you're in range on a Pokémon or a PokéStop, when the Pokémon GO activates and detects it, it will point it out on the screen showing what the GO Plus is pointing at. This is useful if you are in range of multiple things at once so you're able to see what the GO Plus is activating if you have your phone open
