Pokémon Go is having more server troubles.

Players of the Google GPS-powered monster-catching game are reporting a number of errors when they boot up the game. Most people are getting maps completely devoid of monsters, PokéStops, and gyms. This essentially turns Pokémon Go into a useless Google Maps alternative. While the game is the top-grossing app on iOS and Android with more than $200 million in revenues in its first month, developer Niantic has struggled to with bugs and connectivity issues.
