Config.INI

The configuration file can be used to show information about IV's/movesets of creatures, and to show detailed gym information.

For Windows the example config.ini.example can be found at: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\pokemon\app-0.4.1\resources\app\map\config\

For OSX the example config.ini.example can be found by right-clicking the app file (the same file you use to launch the app) and selecting "Show Contents", then navigating within the contents to resources\app\map\config

Open the example file with your text editor of choice, I recommend notepad++ as the file recommends.

PokemonGo-DesktopMap has a configuration screen, but it doesn't have all the options available, so manually editing this text file is currently the only way to do so. NOTE: DESPITE RECOMMENDATION ABOUT API KEY, LOCATION AND ACCOUNTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONFIG FILE, YOU CAN SUPPLY AT THE LOGIN SCREEN AND JUST UNCOMMENT THE TWO LINES YOU NEED.

The lines that control the gym and IV's, I'll include here, but they go in the configuration.ini file as below:

gym-info: true # enables detailed gym info collection (default false), this gives you pokemon in the gyms when you hover over gym

encounter: true # Set to true to start encounters to pull more info, like IVs or movesets. (default false) You see the moves and IV when hovering on pokemon, also enables use of the IV rating for notification
