Myriad of fake wayspots in Celle, Wienhausen and Langlingen, Episode 1

Unfortunately, in my home town and the surrounding villages, more fake waypoints have appeared. Taking sphere photos and trying to find the true location takes so much time that I will make follow up posts for more as I work myself through this mess.
