[FEATURE] Discover pokestops near GUI selected location #731

Open Dragunovam opened 8 years ago

Dragunovam commented 8 years ago

Description: Whenever I select a location for the bot to run to, it only catches pokemon along the way and once it gets to the location, it runs back to the random pokestop selection near the starting pokestop location.

I suggest a way to start a new pokestop discovery in the direct proximity where you directed the bot to, so it can harvest in the new location for pokestops/pokemon.

It already does that. Set allow_leave_start_area=true

You're right, it does allow for some kind of discovery of new pokestops, but they tend to be close to the cluster of already visited pokestops. If I make my bot run 1 km away from the starting cluster, it will usually run back 1 km to near the cluster it last visited

Update: When I direct the bot to a triangular path around the area I want surveyed, it seems to pick up on locations directly in that area, instead of preferring the spawn location
