I have the same issue : the program blocked on "loading, please waiting..." screen

I'm using PCT account, I tried 2 fresh Google API (I looked to not leave blank space), the scanning option is set to 1, I tried with and without " Server Mode / Allow access from anywhere ".

If I open the tool box ( In the menu : Tools > Toggle Developer tools ) and I go in Console Mode I get this error message :

 Error getting location, trying second provider
PositionError {code: 2, message: "Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403."}
code : 2 message :
"Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403."

__proto__ : Object

- Found location [75.5000,-70.5833] by ipinfo.io

I'm using the 0.3.4 version on Windows 10.

Update :

I find out this FAQ : https://github.com/mchristopher/PokemonGo-DesktopMap/wiki/FAQ **

Receiving Error (on Developer Tools): "Search step 1 map parsing failed, retyring request in X seconds"

Starting on the afternoon of August 8, it appears Niantic made a change on their end that returns a non compatible API response if the account you're using has not yet caught it's "starter" Pokemon.

After creating a new PTC account for use with this project (even if this is an account you have been scanning with for a while), make sure to sign into this account via Pokemon GO, agree to the ToS, and then catch your first Pokemon. Scanning via this project will then resume as normal.

After looking at the FAQ I selected my "Starter" Pokemon. It doesn't solve the issue...

I've had the same problem for about a week now. I've done the same steps as well made new accounts, caught the starter, confirmed email, they all still work after logging in again, and i still have the same problem. I also have a mac.

No sure, but to me that looks like something is off with using your google API key. Permission denied seems to indicate your account is having trouble logging into the url when this tool tries to establish the connection.

I went to https://console.developers.google.com/ and looked at my key. It is unrestricted and has a warning about anyone can access it. The console then has options to restrict access. Maybe you have restrictions configured and therefore get DENIED?

Just a guess, but try an unrestricted API key if you are not already.

I checked on the restrictions and it isn't restricted. I tried to download and older version and the version before this one works. Weird because at first it worked great then just for no reason it stopped working. At least i know now that I'm not the only one with the same problem.

What seems to work is closing other apps on my computer. I turned off apps like Plex Media Server, i think its running python too. Run the PGO Desktop Map when nothing is running. After its running, you can reload all your other apps.

Am guessing it might be clashing with other python apps?
