Why Sprotter

More than a map: a walk planner for decor hunters

Scan

Spot the seedlings around you

Pick a decor type and Sprotter scans around you, widening the search up to 20 km until it finds the matching places.

  • Works for any of the 40 decor types
  • Places are cached for 14 days, so they show up instantly

Walks

Walks that go through the right spots

Plan by decor types and duration, through every known spot of those types, or through the places you chose. Sprotter puts the stops in the best order, then suggests worthwhile detours separately.

  • Real walking routes, step by step
  • Optimized order, detours kept optional
The whole loop on one mapEvery stop, in the right order

Favorites

Your targets, always at hand

Mark the decorations you're after, keep your favorite places and save your walks. Hit “Let's go” and the walk shows up on the map.

  • Show only the decorations you care about
  • Name and replay your favorite walks
Target decors and spot them all aroundYour favorite places, at a glance

Collection

Grow your decor collection faster

The more of the same decoration you collect, the further your collection goes. Sprotter chains spots of one type in a single outing: 10 hair salons or 6 waterside spots in a row, in the shortest order. One walk instead of ten.

  • Many spots of the same type, in one loop
  • Shortest order, progress followed stop by stop

Guide

How decor seedlings work, and how to find the ones you want

A short guide to decor types, seedling spots and walks that grow your collection.

Every decor comes from a type of place

When you pick up a seedling, the decoration it grows into depends on the kind of place nearby: a café gives café decor, a train station gives station decor, a park gives park decor. Seedlings come and go, places stay: knowing where each type of place is tells you where to go. Sprotter maps these places, type by type, from OpenStreetMap.

Common decor, rare decor

Some place types are everywhere (restaurants, shops, parks), others are scarce: airports, zoos, stadiums, theme parks, museums. Sprotter widens its scan up to 20 km to find them, and shows the rarest type first on the map.

Grow your collection in one walk

A collection grows by picking up the same decoration again and again. Instead of visiting one hair salon at a time, let Sprotter chain ten of them in a single loop, in the shortest order. Set a duration, a 30-minute stroll or a one-hour run, and it builds a route that fits.

Plan before you travel

Heading to a new city? Mark your target decors, scan the area and save a walk before you leave. Places stay on your phone for 14 days. Once there, tap “Let's go”: the route and its stops show up on the map.

How it works

Three steps to your next walk

  1. Choose your targets

    Mark the decorations you're after.

  2. Scan around you

    Sprotter finds the matching spots nearby.

  3. Go for a walk

    Generate a route and follow the steps on the map.

Compared with web maps

Built for walking, not just looking

Free decor maps on the web are great to check a place. Sprotter adds what you need once you're outside.

Honest about the data

Places come from OpenStreetMap. Walking games also use other sources (such as Foursquare), so a few spots may differ from the game. Sprotter is a great starting point, not a guarantee.

Questions

Is Sprotter an official app?

No. Sprotter is an independent companion app made by a player. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Nintendo, Niantic or Scopely. Pikmin Bloom is a trademark of its owners.

How do I find where a specific decor is?

Open the scan and choose the decor type: Sprotter looks for matching places around you and widens the search until it finds some. The decor list above also shows which kinds of places give each decor.

How can I collect the same decor faster?

Create a walk by decor type, or pick several spots of the same type on the map: Sprotter links them in the shortest order. A round of 10 hair salons or 6 waterside spots takes a single outing.

Does Sprotter show where seedlings are right now?

No. Seedlings appear and disappear in the game. Sprotter shows the places that give each decor, and those don't move: that's what you need to choose where to go.

When can I download it?

Sprotter is not released yet. It is coming to iPhone (iOS 17 or later).

Do I need an account?

No. Your location is used on your device to center the map and compute walking routes.

Where does the data come from?

From OpenStreetMap contributors. Map areas are requested from public OpenStreetMap servers and kept on your device for 14 days.

Which languages are supported?

English, French, Japanese and Traditional Chinese.
