Randomly a Snorlax just spawned outside my work on the other end of the CP spectrum, 321. Lick / Body Slam and, if I am using the calculator correctly, 90% IV. For some reason I don't think I will be able to dench enough Snorlaxes to make this worth it.

Outside of shady methods, generally it comes down to word of mouth or the environmental factors others have mentioned -- charmanders in particular though tend to love golf courses. I say this on the basis of aforementioned shady methods and because I went from never having seen more than 1 to finding 6 in 30 minutes just north of the Sweetwater country club's golf course. Similar reports abound from the Glennbrook Golf Course about half an hour to the east of there.

I saw a Squirtle in my neighborhood this morning while walking to my closest Pokestop. I couldn't narrow down where he was at though so had to give up and go back to work.

Do not search for them on the assumption that the left to bottom right proximity mechanic is correct; the primary reason I've found myself using less than legitimate means to search out pokemon stems from when I first utilized it as a means to gauge this very area of mechanics seeing as the only other means of tracking them down, i.e. the 3-step mechanic is a lost cause at the moment. Frequently I'd see pokemon in the third position+ being as far away as ~1 mile, using only those uncommon / rare spawns I could reasonably isolate amongst everything else in a given area as my sample requirements. It's shitty, don't get me wrong, but it's the lesser of two evils when compared to relying on game mechanics that would otherwise have you wandering about aimlessly with fuck-all to show for it.

Heaven forbid you go for a walk without min/maxing your pokemon experience. You're right it's better to just cheat.

Yeah the map won't help you level much unless you live Gavinrad style. 94 found pokemon is a lot. I doubt I'll be able to get that much at level 24 without changing my routine. I'm at 71 and level 22.5 right now. I go out to different cities/parks now and then, but most of my time is spent in my own suburb pushing my kid around in his stroller.
What the map will be instrumental for is finding rare or just specific pokemon in a large area. If you're hunting Snorlax, being able to search for them within a mile radius is really important. And it will help the community build up hard spawn locations for specific pokemon, which will make it much easier when you find a spot that shits a Dratini every hour.

I live in a town of 1500 I'll look for pokermans however I goddamn want to. Only seen one or two lure parties on the pokestop loop here since I first started playing, and I'd already been walking for a good 45 minutes before one of em started.
Just did a quick 2 block hop for a bulbasaur, caught him on the second try after he broke out of a razzberried great curveball on the first. I've seen like 5 scythers and a dratini and every single one has been on the opposite side of town fuuuuuu

Pretty sure pogo has been found to have some pretty big memory leaks / unfiltered errors (why game starts lagging after a few evolutions sometimes) so unless that gets fixed it might be smartest for you to let it restart once in a while.
I tried one of the desktop map applications and they are neat but yeah nowhere near as effective as sitting somewhere with a lure. They'll only be useful if something rare pops up and you need to know what direction to walk so you don't waste time and have it disappear.
