Pokemon Go Map is aiming to bring a live visualization map of nearby Pokémon, Pokéstops and gyms in a form of a web-app as well as native phone applications.
Video Setup:

German Amazon EC2 Tutorial
Installation will require Python 2.7 and Pip. If you already have these you can skip to installation. Python 3 is not supported at all.
You can install Python and Pip on Ubuntu by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install python python-pip
You can install Python and Pip on Red Hat by running the following command:
yum install python python-pip
Download Python here and install. Then download pip (right click that link and choose "Save Link As"), and double click the file you downloaded, assuming you installed Python correctly.
There is a one-click setup for Windows. After you've installed Python, go into the Easy Setup folder and run setup.bat. This should install pip and the dependencies for you, and put your Google API key into the right place.
Create a Pokemon Club account [on their official website] to be used by the program to search for Pokemon. This generally shouldn't be the same as your main Trainer account you personally use. As of 7/21/2016 this page is unavailable most of the time, refresh the page every 5-10 minutes and it should allow signups eventually. You can also use a Google account. For both services, you can login without ever connecting to the actual game.
Then, download one of the following branches below:
- Download master (Stable builds)
- Download dev branch (Active development)
The dev branch will have latest features from the development team, however it may be unstable at some times.
Extract this zip file to any location.
Now, open a Terminal/Command Line (Win+R and cmd on Windows) and cd to the folder you extracted the zip file to.
cd some/directory/
In Windows you can also right click within the folder and select "Open Command Window Here."
Then enter the following:
pip install -r requirements.txt
You will need to generate your own Google Maps API key and place it in your program directory to use this program. Here's a wiki entry on how to do this part.
To start the server, run the following command:
python runserver.py -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -st 10 -k [Google Maps API key] -l "[LOCATION]"
or for Google account:
python runserver.py -a google -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -st 10 -k [Google Maps API key] -l "[LOCATION]"
Replacing [USERNAME] and [PASSWORD] with the Pokemon Club credentials you created previously, and [LOCATION] with any location, for example Washington, D.C or latitude and longitude coordinates, such as 38.9072 77.0369.
Additionally, you can change the 10 after -st to any number. This number indicates the number of steps away from your location it should look, higher numbers being farther.
Open your browser to http://localhost:5000 and keep refreshing as it loads more Pokemon (auto refresh is not implemented yet).
As of 2016-07-20, support for the first implementation 'example.py' was dropped.
Please use the refactored version present in the branch develop.
Periodic tagged releases will be made
