Fake, staggered spot

I found a spot that I thought was intentionally staggered to give me an advantage in the game.


Title of the Wayspot: 自由広場


Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=38.160225,140.865701&z=17&pll=38.160007,140.865658


City: 名取市


Country:日本


I applied for it on the information board at the entrance, but even if I stand there, it does not reach the spot.


The spot was on the edge of the square. There is nothing to mark here, it is a grassland. The sign was at the location indicated by the red arrow and was staggered for application or approval. I'm taking 360-degree photos right above the spot and where there is a sign.

Apparently, when placed in the correct position, it seems to be a place that can not be used in Pokemon GO, and it is considered to be an abuse that was intentionally shifted to gain an advantage in the game. please investigate.

    Not sure if this will help, but here's some additional information.

    This is an image posted on Twitter at the time of approval by the user who applied for the spot.


    It may be difficult to see, but you can see that the spot was submitted in this position from the beginning.

    Since it was written that more Pokéstops would be added, it is thought that the spot was deliberately moved away from its original location in order to display it on Pokémon GO from the beginning.

    You might want to investigate based on this as well.
