pokestopI posted this in the comments of cyphomandra's post about the latest update, but then I realized it'd be more helpful to post it directly to the community so everyone would see it!
TL;DR - Niantic has begun work on the tracker. It is not in its final form. Some people are in a beta. Everyone should be seeing a faster refresh rate with no phantom pokémon lingering around despite having despawned or fallen out of range.
For those of us who remember the original functional tracker, no, it doesn't have pawprints. But with the accurate refresh rate (~15 sec IIRC), you can actually track pokémon now. If a pokémon shows up in your Sightings tab, you're within its 200m radius. Watching the pokémon appear and disappear from your Sightings tab will allow you to triangulate.
This post on Reddit breaks down the process: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4wvmgv/tracking_pokemon_using_sightings/
Happy hunting!
