It's not likely to be PoGo users because playing PoGo here is pretty boring because of the rarity of pokestops and the lack of gyms. You could argue that it's Android users in general (who didn't opt out of location history), but here are a few counter-arguments: * the comercial part of town has much more footfall, but still comparatively few PoGo spawns (about 2-4 between the bridge and the crossroad; nothing at the christian church despite high atendance) * the spawns all along the footway are mostly water types (starmie, psyduck, goldeen...) which are known to spawn near rivers/lakes. GM has only maped the river that follows along half the footway, not the tributary that follows along the other half. Neither river shows up ingame. -- Vincent Dp _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
