Pokemon GO has recently updated their map and players are loving the added details.
Pokemon GO is a mobile app allowing players to experience being a trainer by walking around and catching Pokemon themselves. In order to do this, Nintendo created their own world map for supported countries.
Niantic is a software company supporting the Pokemon GO map. They have been constantly updating the game map and there is not a set schedule for this. Recently they tweeted about an update coming up and it is now live in-game.
Trainers in Australia, Singapore, the UK, and Mexico can now see a new real-time sky mechanic that mimics your in-game sky based on your geographical location! This feature will roll out globally at a later time. For more details: https://t.co/Z2p8SYNouR

Two big updates to the Pokemon GO map are the real-time sky mechanic and map detail updates.
The real-time sky mechanic is a visual update. The game now mimics players’ skylight based on their geographical locations and takes weather into account as well.
Players can now see sunsets or cloudy skies in-game.

Although Pokemon GO map quality is great yet it is not perfect. Players have been complaining about non-existing sidewalks or missed details. The update to Pokemon GO’s map has fixed some locations and also added others.
Someone working on OpenStreetMaps (not me… I think..) added the koi pond in my backyard and it shows up in PokemonGo now. I haven’t tried to improve that map in years. Just appeared tonight, I’m mildly amused. pic.twitter.com/EBLyoyKEoO

People have been giving mixed reactions. Some are pleased that their location has been updated, and others are still waiting for errors to be fixed.
