I admit, I got hooked on Pokémon GO. As a hacker myself, I wanted to learn everything there is to know about Pokémon GO mechanics and improve my game play. Unfortunately, many sites carry outdated information.

Open Street Map (OSM) is an openly licensed map of the world created by volunteers such as you and me using local knowledge, personal surveys, GPS tracks and donated sources.
