Welcome to the Pokemon Go Map wiki

Pokemon Go Map is aiming to bring a live visualization map of nearby Pokémon, Pokéstops and gyms in a form of a web-app as well as native phone applications.

Video Setup: Video Walkthrough

Prerequisites

Installation will require Python 2.7 and Pip. If you already have these you can skip to installation. Python 3 is not supported at all.

Ubuntu or Debian

You can install Python and Pip on Ubuntu by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install python python-pip

Windows

Download Python here and install. Then download pip (right click that link and choose "Save Link As"), and double click the file you downloaded, assuming you installed Python correctly.

Credentials and Downloading

Create a Pokemon Club account [on their official website] to be used by the program to search for Pokemon. This generally shouldn't be the same as your main Trainer account you personally use. As of 7/21/2016 this page is unavailable most of the time, refresh the page every 5-10 minutes and it should allow signups eventually. You can also use a Google account. For both services, you can login without ever connecting to the actual game.

Then, download one of the following branches below:

The dev branch will have latest features from the development team, however it may be unstable at some times.

Extract this zip file to any location.

Install Dependencies

Now, open a Terminal/Command Line (Win+R and cmd on Windows) and cd to the folder you extracted the zip file to.

cd some/directory/

In Windows you can also right click within the folder and select "Open Command Window Here."

Then enter the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

To start the server, run the following command:

python example.py -a ptc -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -l "[LOCATION]" -st 10

Note: develop runs off runserver.py instead of example.py, but same options work

Replacing [USERNAME] and [PASSWORD] with the Pokemon Club credentials you created previously, and [LOCATION] with any location, for example Washington, D.C or latitude and longitude coordinates, such as 38.9072 77.0369.

Additionally, you can change the 10 after -st to any number. This number indicates the number of steps away from your location it should look, higher numbers being farther.

Accessing

Open your browser to http://localhost:5000 and keep refreshing as it loads more Pokemon (auto refresh is not implemented yet).

Project refactor

As of 2016-07-20, support for the first implementation 'example.py' was dropped.
Please use the refactored version present in the branch develop.
Periodic tagged releases will be made
