Sure. But it's not fun. Which is way more important than any of the things you mentioned. The first thing a game designer thinks of is fun, not system limitations.

What's not fun is the presently 'mapless' version of Pokemon GO we all have access to.

Sure I can see if I am near a Pokemon, but I can't actually go after most of them due to GPS jitter and the time it takes to walk/cross at lights in cities.

If I absolutely knew which direction to go there is a CHANCE I could get to a Pokemon before it despawns.

As things stand now I pretty much have to win a small lottery to capture one where I happen to be taking a scenic walk.

I am not talking about the current version about pokemon go. I am talking about the version suggested by the commenter above.
