Pokémon Go Update Kills FastPokeMap And Every Other Map Scanner
Niantic is determined to block third party developers from accessing their servers to extract data. Popular map scanner like PokéVision was killed previously, but new ones pop up days later.
The Captcha security was enforced yesterday where suspicious players will be presented with a reCaptcha which must be solved in order to continue the game.

The biggest Pokémon Go map scanner, FastPokeMap is still working but only at about 40-50 percent capacity.
