## What it is
An Electron desktop application that bundles the PokemonGo-Map project with an HTML UI and Python dependencies to show a live visualization of nearby Pokémon. It provides a packaged, cross-platform wrapper so users can run the map without manual setup.

## Use cases
- see pokemon spawns on a live map near me
- track rare pokemon locations on desktop
- visualize pokemon go map in an app instead of a browser
- find nearby gyms and pokestops on a map
- run pokemongo-map without installing python manually

## When to choose
- you specifically want the classic PokemonGo-Map experience in a packaged desktop app
- you are exploring archived Pokémon GO scanning tools for historical or research purposes

## When to avoid
- you need a currently working Pokémon GO scanner, since the game's API changes broke these tools years ago
- you want an actively maintained mapping tool with support and updates
- you need a general-purpose geospatial visualization tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, data-visualization, web-scraping, geospatial
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform, python
