Bot is making a weird Spiral

[iruy]

Expected Behavior

Possible to make a more square Spiral?
Can I suggest this algorithm? Link

Use gps_default_altitude for any altitude calculation. If I set gps_default_altitude: 8.0 I should not see 600 in my FollowSpiral log

Actual Behavior

I'm trying to farm a Pokemon nest but the bot is not building a good Spiral..

Moreover, it is changing altitude quite dangerously I'd say.... 90m for a 7m walk is a bit too much of altitude difference..

Your FULL config.json

        {
            "type": "FollowSpiral",
            "config": {
                "enabled": true,
                "diameter": 100,
                "step_size": 5
            }
        }

maybe diameter is too big. default is 4, i just tried 8 and it's much bigger.

[iruy]

I made various tests, and diameter seems like the number of segments (of step_size length) the bot will walk through, increasing from inside to the outside obviously. The image is showing the Spiral after about 2 hours, so not very big...I'd say 500x100m

In my experience, if followspiral is changing our location, you're IP banned.

[iruy]

Teleporting get you IP banned, not walking from A to B. Isn't it like so?

[mjmadsen]

There a lot of things that might tripper them banning an IP ban. Are you using a VPN, cloud or proxy? Many networks have been banned.

Per the altitude, you can look up averages for your long/lat then set the min/max lat ranges from that. Or setup one of the more complex pathing systems (though not rocket science).

[iruy]

Do you mean GPX?

[leadboots5]

@iruy you need to set your altitude range. I think the default is 500 to 1000. Which 600 is within the margin of.
