PK Radar - Area Onboarding

Sumter SC - Proof of Concept

Contacts: @matt-yml @darthmerj @Shasta

I. Territory Viability Assessment

• [x] Fence Estimation: Determine boundary and size of the new area.
• [x] Gyms: Identify and catalog all gyms within the territory.
• [x] Stops: Locate and enumerate all PokéStops.
• [x] IV Fence Estimation: Scan areas for targeted spawn scanning.
• [x] Points of Interest (POI) Names: Document names of all POIs.
• [x] Fence & Known POI Revision: Adjust fence based on known POIs.
• [x] Spawn Point Discovery: Detect all Pokémon spawn points.
• [x] Spawn Point Time-to-Hidden (TTH): Measure time Pokémon remain visible at spawn points.
• [x] Routing: Establish optimal paths between POIs for scanners.
• [x] Raid and Quest Account Allocation: Allocate accounts for monitoring raids and quest scans.
• [ ] Nest Discovery: Identify and document Pokémon nests.
• [x] Automation Process: Set up processes for automatic data collection/update.
• [ ] Subscriber Signup & Onboarding: Ensure a streamlined process for new users.
• [x] Nominatim SC: Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding of street address and GPS coordinates

II. User Communication

• [x] Community Feedback: Gather feedback from local Pokémon GO community.
• [x] Issue Reporting: Set up a system for users to report issues or inaccuracies.
• [x] Progress Updates: Communicate regularly with users about the status and any changes.

Note: Not all items will be checked immediately during onboarding. e.g. Spawn point TTL and Nest discovery may take weeks/months for large areas.

PK Radar Survey #121

Location: Sumter, SC

Statistics:

• Pokestops: 312
• Gyms: 97
• Area: 158.86 square miles

Resource Estimate:

• Raid, POI, and sparse spawn IV coverage: 1 unit
• Quests: 1 unit

Note: The value for spawn points might be off as it's based solely on raid estimates.

Scan Cell Refresh Rates

• Performance: The system operates efficiently with a single ATV. However, for redundancy, having 2 units is recommended.

• Mon-IV Route: This area is suitable for a mon-IV only route, especially around town, aligning with @Shasta's preliminary sketch. With a 70m scanning range, the ATV will also capture POI information within 500m.

• Optimization: To increase efficiency, we will be trimming excess area from the larger block, and likely less than the sketch per customer spec.

• Upcoming Event: We're well-prepared and likely have good performance for the upcoming Wooper Community Day on Saturday.

• Automation: We're in the process of setting up automation and allocating the necessary accounts (level 30) to ensure smooth operations.

• Mon-IV Fences: Deploying mon-iv fences on Saturday might face challenges due to constraints in CAD and compute capacities.

Geocoding compilation to add SC to existing NC database will likely complete by tomorrow morning. See Cola survey: https://github.com/matt-yml/pk/issues/118#issuecomment-1791350724

Geocoding rebuild complete. SC addresses now handled. https://github.com/matt-yml/pk/issues/118#issuecomment-1792779659

Refresh Cells - IV Scans Only

@suzydog69 could edit the sumter raid fence to match what @shasta submitted? looking to trim down from the initial umbrella approach taken with the current raid fence.

i'll handle the iv fences inside that. i have a new strategy to try with sumter.

[Suzydog69]

10-4 I'll take a stab at it in next 24-48 hours.
