Your buddy & "walking" it just a li'l
We 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.

If the front camera is covered, it turns off the screen but keeps the phone awake with the app running. I lay it face down - also handy for stopping it from eating battery in my pocket with the screen on.
