why remove all sources of sniper, it still works?

[desert0616]

In order to config my own source, I try to remove all sources of the sniper to avoid any distraction on my debugging. But I found that even if I remove all sources of the sniper. It still works and can get some coordinates of Pokemon. Why? Does any predefined source exist?

Thanks.

When I removed all the sources in the sniper config, I get this message which means sniper will not be triggered at all.

The default configuration file has mode = social which means it will use the data from social network instead of specified urls. Try changing it to mode = url and see if it works with blank url list.
