pokestopWe know that there is GPS drift that adds to your walked km, and it's "natural" in the sense that every GPS-based app will be somewhat affected.
But now in the New Age of Buddies, leaving your phone and the Pokémon GO on overnight means that you may wake up to a new candy for your buddy: I did this morning! My Pikachu was no longer at 28 candy, but 29! After reading a guy's account on reddit's Silph Road about maximizing GPD drift by laying down your phone in north-south direction, I hooked my iPhone 5 up to be charged last night and laid it down N-S. To do that, I simply used the Pokémon GO app as a compass by tapping the compass in the upper right-hand corner.
It may not always work, but it clearly works for some folks.
