[Official] Current Map Issues

[CAcove]

Dear everyone,

We are currently aware of issues involving the grey screen with the maps.
This can be a couple of things, either delayed server responses due to the overwhelming increase in people, but more likely an issue with the map server (leaflet) itself.
The Devs have been messaged by me, and once they are awake as it is very late for them, they will investigate (IF the issue is persisting) at this time we can assure you, there is no niantic traps or risks past not seeing exactly where you are, this is only affecting people who restart their bots, and wont hurt anyone with the map already pre loaded (as in was running before the issue started).
Please be patient while we look into this.

Much love,

CAcove & The PokeFarmer Dev Team

UPDATE

We believe we have an idea what is causing this issue, it has nothing to do with PF or even Niantic if we are correct, further testing and more time is what we need at this point in time. Please be patient and do not ask us for updates until we have one to give.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.


UPDATE

As per the changelog for .180 everything has been fixed mapside. Please continue to enjoy PokeFarmer

It's as safe as we can be for botting at this time. just keep in mind that the map is presently down, so if you are unsure of location and how safe you are, you may want to just sit tight till we have the maps back online.

Ok, thanks. Then in the meantime I'll need use the same coordinates whenever have to stop the bot for a bit and then restart. I bot near the ocean and if I simply restart without readjusting the center point and the bot happened to be near the the shore when I closed it last, it starts at the same place and cuts off a large amount of land territory to bot on.

Hi
The issue seems to have vanished in the meantime. I experienced the same issue a few hours ago.
To me, it looks like a problem with the map data server (tile server), whatever server the "leaflet" has been configured to use. This has absolutely nothing to do with niantic, even the data displayed is different.
To get coordinates if this happens again, go to a mapping webpage like
google maps ( Google Maps )
or
openstreetmap ( OpenStreetMap )
navigate to the spot you are looking for, zoom in to maximum zoom, and use the long numbers in the address bar towards the end of the address as longitude and latitude
