ERROR OVER_QUERY_LIMIT #493

After loading my pokemon list I had this error displayed in the pokemon list on several pokemons : caught city/caught locations : ERROR OVER_QUERY_LIMIT

Yes. That's caused by the Google Maps API, and sadly nowhere explained in BPGM :-/

I can explain it in short here. For Pokémon, the Pokemon server just returns a so-called cellId where it was caught. From that, you can calculate the geo-coordinates, which are shown in a column too.

But to get the location itself, as a text, we need to get it somewhere. For that, there exists the Google Geocode API as part of the Google Maps API. What BPGM does is send a coordinate to Google Maps and asks how the location is called, then it extracts the answer and caches it in a local locations.json file. The Google API only accepts 50 requests per second though (source, to limit API overload. So if you have more than 50 different locations for your Pokémon, BPGM can only display the first 50 and displays OVER_QUERY_LIMIT for the rest.

If you refresh the list, the next bunch of 50 locations should be queried. Until you have all ready.
