I am traveling to a metropolitan city currently with a decent amount of portals... But without a phone that supports scanning (no ARcore), and one can only make a few 50k+ MU fields, I'll be limited to linking, capturing and glyphing...
The provision of "links shorter than 8km in length can be created under Fields" is of great help, but this would only make fielding that much more cumbersome with lots of random 1km+ fields thrown everywhere.
The points for linking, capturing and glyphing should have been higher. Or fields of 25k+ MU or 15k+ MU should have been allowed to cater to players not in big cities.
Captures don’t have to be unique, so that’s a great option in active play areas.
One option is to glyph hack for lots keys from 24 portals, move 1+ km away, starburst back to those portals from a single portal , Ada/Jarvis , move to next portal , repeat
that assumes you have plenty of SBUL and Ada/Jarvis.
You get 16 points for uploading a scan during the event, not for scanning during the event. Just choose “upload later” after each scan and you can hold on to them indefinitely.
As each scan takes about 30 seconds, if you have a cluster of portals they can add up fast.
I find it takes 5-10 GB of storage per 100 scans.
2/3 of my points so far are from uploaded scans but less than 1/3 my effort. And I’m trying to get as many points as I can from other methods, but scanning and uploading is so much easier per point.

You find "EOS Points Earned" in the scanner stats, under the "Events" section.
Thanks for sharing; what profile exactly are you referring to? Could you supply the "click path"?
Thx in advance.
Thank you, finally found it.
@SSSputnik Just glyphing and capture, yes.
I really wish there was a badge for recycling because I'd probably get onyx during this event.
Do we get points again for recapping portals?

Good luck fielding to agents who live in El Paso, TX where the temperature is 101 F.
I don't see that
What!? How??

Was actually thinking this morning about a recycling badge for next Earth Day!
We play in 107+ sometimes....
must be tough for phone 😳
Actually good for scanning though. The heat usually causes my phone to slow down the frame rate of my scans, turning a 60-70mb scan into 30mb.
