City: Toronto
Country: Canada
Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
I submitted a location edit for this wayspot back on February 10th. The location of the wayspot was fixed in Ingress but not in PokémonGO.
Here’s the link to the original post:
https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/40133/location-edit-10m#latest
I was back at the location on Feb 25th and the pokéstop was still in the old incorrect location, despite the fact that @NianticOtoStar reported that the location had been corrected on Feb 17th.
Can someone please make the location edit in PokémonGO as well? I tried tagging multiple Niantic employees in the original post thread but nobody responded.
I would also like to understand why the location was fixed in one game but not the other so that this issue can be avoided in the future. I don’t think anyone should have to submit multiple location edit appeals for the same wayspot to get it moved in each separate Niantic game.
Comments
I can confirm there seems to be a sync issue with location edits in Pokémon Go. I had one accepted by Niantic support on the Wayfarer website a couple of weeks back, and whilst it has updated in both the Wayfarer app and Ingress, it's still in the wrong place in Pokémon Go.
Might be worth tagging @NianticAaron @NianticLC @NianticOtoStar and @NianticTintino-ING to get them to chat to the Pokémon Go team and investigate the issue (as well as move this thread to bug reports).
The wayspot I'm having this issue with is Harlow Hill Recreation Ground (which is in Harrogate, UK). In Ingress and on the Wayfarer app, this is where it appears:
In Pokémon Go it still shows in its old location ( 53.981532,-1.562819 ) over by the tennis court.
Hey there, @Pokeyman12-PGO! We have already made the necessary changes. Please wait for them to sync and reflect. We appreciate your patience!
