Niantic has announced a new medal: North Star!

Thanks to advances in XM technology, the NIA can use the power of the Starfield to enhance interfacing with the Portal Network! To aid Agents in their quest and help the NIA with their XM investigation, the North Star medal will function as follows:

Agents will first need to stand opposite of the nothernmost Resonator of a portal (as marked in the Portal Details screen). After that, Agents will need to orient their Scanner due north and initiate a Glyph Hack. During the duration of the Glyph Hack, Agents will need to stay at the same location and keep their Scanner oriented to the north, otherwise no points will be awarded for the North Star medal.

The NIA is noting that, due to GPS drift, tall buildings, April Fools, XM turbulence and other disturbances, Agents may need to shift left and right to maintain their position and orientation of the 6-DOF parallel manipulator in the joint space coordinate.

The North Star medal will have the following tiers:

Bronze: 401
Silver: 20,000
Gold: 60,000
Platinum: 200,000
Onyx: 500,000

The medal will roll out soon with an expected deployment date of April 31, 2069.
