Location Restrictions

Cameron Gagnon edited this page Aug 14, 2016 · 2 revisions

Unfortunately due to Niantic tightening down on third party bots/apis, we have decided to hedge our bets and prevent accounts from teleporting to far away locations when gathering pokemon data. This allows our accounts to look slightly more realistic and harder to ban, resulting in better uptime for our users.

In order to do this, we now restrict a users' location to be within a preset range for a specific server's location. Depending on the city's size, the range is likely what would be considered the natural outline of the city itself. If the city is too large, then more than one server may be needed. If multiple servers are not deployed, then only part of the city may be covered. If you're interested in hosting a server, please see here for the steps necessary to do this!
