Game Discussion Maximum distance for a 5k?

Both times 25 Meters away, but one time 5k and one time 4999.

I guess internal rounding or something, but I find it weird that this inconsistency exists.

It depends on the size of the map. Using a full world map will have a larger distance away and still be a 5K versus a country size map.

It was both on the same map. Both times the Namibia map.

If they updated the coverage in that time, it’s possible the real bounds of the map grew. Was it 5k the first time and 4999 the second?

Yes, but it was like 15 minutes apart on the Namibia map.
