Fake location submission to delete

Hello,

I would like to report several fake portals that I have encountered in Wayfarer, and that are active in the different games.

I can of course be wrong, but I would like to show you anyway.

I have repeatedly voted for submissions on the same location, and despite the fact that I had detected a false location, they were still accepted by the community.

This is in the town of "Laruscade" in France.

The different wayspots are visible via the intel map.


• There is for example a sign indicating the hiking trails of Graviange, while its actual location is 7.8km to the west. There is even an official Google Maps Street View that passed the sign in April 2021, and you can see the arrangement of the tree branches behind the sign. So it's obvious that this is a fake wayspot.

Link of the wayspot location : https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=45.130037,-0.369595&z=17&pll=45.130211,-0.370141

Link to the real location on Google Maps Street View : https://goo.gl/maps/db3sUuUos5YZvftS7


• There is also a welcome sign about a fishing spot, which is called "Étang du Belou". The sign even has a map that shows the location of the sign on it, normally at the edge of the lake. Except that it was accepted 1km further north, far from the water point it represents. So it is a false location.

• Finally there is a sign describing the importance of beehives and bees, only the problem comes from the logo on the top right, which is that of the company "Center Parcs" which is a vacation village company, and the nearest one is about 220 km further north. And it's the closest!! Again the real location is wrong.

• I also have big doubts about 3 other wayspots representing crosses scattered around the previous wayspots. I don't need to put an Intel link.

Indeed, if we look at the IGN maps (National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information) of the French government, freely available on the site geoportail.gouv.fr, none of the available maps show religious elements such as crosses on this road.

The Street View proposed by Google Maps dates back to 2013, and I doubt from the photos that these were installed between 2013 and now.

On the crosses, it's up to you Niantic.


• I also came across another request that was refused (fortunately) and that represented the communal forest of Auch located 180km further south.

Thank you for deleting these false wayspots. 👍️
