incomplete scanning

[Sigi-cz]

I set scan radius to 15000, that makes 27k locations. The scan never finishes all of them and restarts after 13minutes of scanning. You can se the unscanned area on the picture, part of log is here.
I guess that has something to do with need to finish cycle in 15mins to be 100% sure to catch all spawns?
That's why I'd love to see possibility to use more accounts for scanning.

This shouldn't be happening

@Sigi-cz if you execute the phyton server multiple times with multiple accounts you can distribute the scanning over more accounts, they inheritly share the same DB file. we use this in the hosted solution https://pkmn_wrn.itdata.at

One for vienna and one for Wiener Neustadt (austria both) ATM you only see gyms as the PTC login server is down :(

Also i adapted the map for hosted solution with notifications and notification areas instead of moving the scan locations center

[Sigi-cz]

it's a bit OT, but I'll ask, If those two instances overlap, will they create duplicities in DB? I guess not.

havent tried yet as we have 50km apart.

No, it will not create duplicates. Pokemon are stored by their encounter id which is unique in the db. 👍

@MarkusFlorian Do you know of a way to allow the multiple accounts to use separate Gmaps API keys?

[ghost]

@moggd It's quite easy to adapt the gmaps key to be part of the script call arguments instead of the init config but this would need separate adaption. The code currently does not provide such a functionality.

Closing due to the extensive rewrite.
