And We Are Back!

By | July 7, 2017

Did you miss me? It took a lot of work to get the map back up and stable again. Not to mention it happened in the middle of me starting a backyard deck project. Yes, I have things to do outside of running the map, haha! Anyways, just to make this short, all previously scanned… Read More »

So previously with my old scanner I had to use hexagons and distance from the center but with the current pokemon scanner I can draw all kinds of shapes. Here are the new updated instructions to send me what I need for a new dedicated scanned location. New areas require a 3 square mile minimum,… Read More »

Correction: Shadow Ban Update

By | May 25, 2017

I retract it being called account blinding. They have actually started to call this a Shadow Ban. Either way I am working to regain my resources for the map while they try to fix the issue. Meanwhile, I have been doing some limited testing with select areas and letting them run overnight to see how… Read More »

Map Blinding

By | May 21, 2017

There is a new Niantic account ban we have called account “Blinding” that has caused our map and many others to show only common pokemon. It’s not a map crushing problem but I will be turning the scanners off until I can get a handle on what the exact issue is as well as the… Read More »

Scheduled Outage – Internet Upgrade

By | May 16, 2017

Get Directions for iPhone Users

By | May 12, 2017

Credits for this go to a user from one of our Facebook groups. This is for iPhone users… Starting a couple days ago whenever I use v2Mike’s and choose the “Get Directions” option, it opens Google Maps in a browser instead of the app, then it can’t find the Pokemon’s location. Want to know how to… Read More »

Lafayette & West Lafayette

By | May 12, 2017

Welcome Lafayette and West Lafayette to the Indy Poke Map. At this point I think I have almost every college campus in the State of Indiana covered except for Notre Dame, IWU, USI, and a few others. I’m sure people will donate for those before too long. Meanwhile I am sure this new area will… Read More »

IV & CP Stats

By | May 2, 2017

So I know it hasn’t been the same since Niantic recently randomized the IV values and move sets for accounts below a certain level. This was first reported here on reddit. I want you all to know I have the same frustration with this recent change. This isn’t a new tactic by Niantic as we… Read More »
