That sound weird at first, but at least like 99% of those areas are public areas

There are multiple pokestops in a row out in the woods in a walking path that had 0 pokemon spawns. I think the pokemon spawns correlate to cellular data usage, that's why you usually get lots of pokemon in electronic stores and such.
Would probably also increase the pokemon spawns when 1000 people gather together to play pokemon go.
It's also important to keep in mind that pokemon despawn and respawn, so a 30 sec search might not be an accurate representation of what you'll actually find in an hour.

pokevision is incredible
I just wish it's range was bigger
or if they built a decent tracking system into the game itself
pokevision really shows how dumb the 3steps system is, how are you supposed to find a pokemon in a several hundred m range in 5minutes without any directions whatsoever
give us a fun tracking system and it will be the highlights of the game
until then I'm on pokevision

That Pikachu is about to despawn. Not even worth it. Heh. Must've been considered a rare.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Can you get pokevision to list Pokemon name? Or make the damn icons bigger? What the hell is this
damn, nice golden poo

3 seconds....lol
yeah my understanding of ingress was you collected the most stuff in areas with high cell phone use, and i think that correlates pretty well to what we see in pokemon. I also noticed I usually get an explosion of pokemon when going by gas station's that are trucks stops.

Looking into my crystal ball.
There will be an app shortly. It'll use your credentials and your GPS location to show you nearby pokemon with direction and distance or just overlaid on the phone map app, using the information already out there in the open source python project.
It will keep working until Niantic obfuscate the API with a new release of their client, or recognise foreign users of it and block them, or ban accounts.
The crowd source finder apps are mostly useless because the spawn time is so short making their information all stale.

Ugh, I've hit level 15 and the Pokemon are all cocky fuckers now.
I'm having low-level pidgeys and ratattas escape from my balls constantly, it feels like it's not worth wasting them.
I just had a pidgey escape 5 regular balls and 2 great balls before being captured, what the fuck?

There were well over 1000 people at my local park yesterday, which is the main park of my town and a place that has 14 pokestops and 3 gyms.... and this is what it looks like...
This means absolutely nothing
Staples Center, downtown Los Angeles
Seems only in Japan, tho.
Yeah seems like it's only on Japan during the release week and out X time

at least LA seems to be getting lots of rare pokemon...I'd kill for a rhino right now. I'm in the land of zubats and pidgies.
Rhinos aren't rare, just region specific
I'd kill for some weedles, super uncommon for me
I just caught a Wartortle in my home. ^_^
Well they don't say anything about a release date, just that there will be some partnerships.
It might be tomorrow, or next week for what we know.

Dying because All this pokevision site shows in Toronto is one single Drowzee. Still this is so damn accurate LOL, we got Drowzees for days!
I don't know I don't read Japanese

I'd say it's the 1 step range
90% of what I see is Zubat and Doduo
I went for a 20km cycle today and saw 67 Zubats. I know cause I counted

More annoying is how often they escape from Poke Balls. Like they show up super frequently and they always put a dent on how many I have on me.
Today I learned that Pokemon Go and Runkeeper are not compatible together! PoGo screwed up the GPS for my running app and didn't even log any KM for egg incubation.
I ran a 5k for no benefit at all!*
I've been told since that Pokemon Go doesn't work if you run above a certain speed. D:
(*except some sort of health thing but that doesn't count)

Here is the correct staples center area map (valid obviously only about now)
Me and him used the same site, how did you generate that? Seems to have range
Edit: also, that Pokemon variety is depressing
The python script actually slowed my interest down about going round and round collecting pokémon, just got Growlithe and Graveler with a pinpoint attack to their locations. I watched New York, Germany and some other locations and got jealous of the droves of Pokémon found there.

Usually lock screen + volume down held down for about a second

While I probably won't use that site to specifically go catch something (unless its in my neighborhood) I'm definitely going to be using it to do research. Specifically which areas around me spawn different pokemon. Also found it funny that water pokemon apparently can spawn at pools. Theres this one neighborhood within proximity of me that has some awesome spawns and pokemon completely different from most of the rest of the surrounding area. I wonder what makes that neighborhood so different from others to warrant different types of spawns?

Yeah... that's about the same for me.
Hold the power button and the home button at the same time. Well, at least that's how it's done on my Galaxy S4.
Half an hour ago Russia appeared among the offline servers along will all the others that appeared previously

I've caught pretty much every water Pokemon I have at a fountain
No way, 1 step is practically next to you.
It's further than 2 steps even.
I have to imagine, considering the way it's polling the API, that's it's showing everything that would appear in your personal Nearby list.
Think about how that list is displayed on your device. Even though it's obfuscated, for it to work it has to know where all of those pokemon are. I'd guess PokeVision is just removing that obfuscation and using the co-ordinates directly.

God damn. Pokevision showed a Kingler in the park with about ten minutes to go but I didn't get there in time. Just back home and another Kingler pops up -_-

This thread moves too fast and there's barely any official news still...
So...any update on this nearby issue?
Any updates planned?
And is using Pokevision likely to get players in trouble?

Apparently Glasgow is like Pokémon Detroit.
Kinda defeats the point but when the tracker is bugged whatcha gonna do?
Personally I'm not using it.

Yeah I've just seen what it actually is.
That kind of takes the fun away of just walking about.

Toronto really is the Drowzee capital of the world.
Dunno when I'll see it again but getting a full screen of Drowzee's on the tracker is depressing.
Nintendo has no way to know if you use it lol.
