PokeNav 1.9.0 - Point Of Interest Awareness

This update brings a number of improvements to PokeNav; most notably, the beginning of Gym and Pokestop awareness – which is being released today in an early access period. Starting today, PokeNav will have a database of gyms and pokestops, and communities will be able to geolocate their communities to have PokeNav automatically link raids to the right location when raids are started via screenshot. This database will be expanded in the near future to include most gyms and pokestops in the world. With user submitted data available at a later period. At the moment only gyms in select parts of south eastern pennslyvania are available.
