'Navigate to portal' missing

Can't find this feature in the recent Prime Scanner.

Niantic is reporting functional parity achieved but actually this particular feature transforms Ingress into something more than just a game, into something usable in the real world.

I often use this in Redacted to check my location when traveling by bus or train, especially at night.

I even have a bunch of keys from different railway and bus stations in a separate locker for this purpose.

Also its very handy actually.

  • Not even got the patience because the prime scanner hurts my eyes. The navigate function used to be useful in very rural settings as a exercise goal, so it's a making it harder to play when portals are about 2 miles apart in rural areas. Nice find, hope they can fix that.

  • The function copy portal location may be helpful only in cities. But in lots of other regions you will see something like this

    Unnamed Road, 51399 Burscheid, Germany

    The navigation to such portal is not possible. The one of advantages of redacted has been the navigation button. It made possible to navigate to the portal even if one had bad network service or an unnamed road, such like in parks and forests.

    Please bring it back ASAP. The copy/paste function may be useful for someone but is not a replacement at all!

    thank you in advance

    Yep, at least this feature was able to show the direction to portal so that in the forest it worked as a compass
