What is the Pokemon Go Community Map?

The Pokemon Go Community Map is a web app devoted to providing the Pokemon Go community the ability to easily and effortlessly add neighborhood Pokestops, Gyms, and Pokemon sightings. Though the map is in a semi-beta phase, regular updates are rolling out daily to ensure that the community is constantly engaged!

 

How Do I Add Pins and Sightings to the Map?

We've done our best to make sure that this map is the most user friendly map available. Adding and deleting events and is as easy as clicking (on desktop), or tapping (on mobile) on a location on the map, selecting whether the location is a Gym/Pokestop or Pokemon using the form to input your data.
