Usbekenrunner-PGO Hi there. Join us here on the only thread for Routes on Wayfarer.
Routes is a PGO specific feature. So the only support for it is via the PGO forums, In App chat or you can use The PGO contact us pages.
There have been a host of post publication rejections that have really been concerning for the PGO routes community. With many rejection criteria not making sense. No one knows how the system works. There is rumour that people who do not ge the rewards they want are 1 starring the routes and using rejection criteria.
But we don't actually know. How the AI works? Why things go straight to AI and another goes straight to review queue.
Have you had many routes rejected? Are there other routes near by? What is your acceptance rate like?
So I managed to get a response in app about my long wait.
We are unable to provide an exact time for approval now. It may take longer for the process to go through depending on how many submissions we receive. Meanwhile, keep submitting new Routes. Your patience will be appreciated!
So…it’s taking a long time due to the large amount of Routes being submitted but keep submitting more Routes?
I have to say. I wonder at what point my childish interest in wanting to know if anything got reviewed will go. There is a sense of expectation and trepidation yet more resignation of looking each day
@Innerlize-PGO as @The26thDoctor-PGO said we don't know who in the review team is getting the short straw to review and how they even select them for review...........
We hear you. Stick with it. I am getting AI Park acceptances once a week. It is a light to look upon😁
I've had a 2 cell drop from the last couple of routes that were over 2km. Could just be coincidence, I'll try a few longer ones including a 12.5km over the weekend and see what happens
I have had the same issue and it's so frustrating! I've tried two routes that are in a park that have poke stops & many gyms and the first time it was rejected due to being dangerous (!!!!) and so I made it again this without crossing any kind of street. It's a park here in Hawaii that 100's of players play Pokémon go in, there is another route that's longer that got approved (not by me) but this one using some of the same exact placement just shorter is rejected this time
saying it was "private property" (!!!!!!!!) ****! It's A PARK.
This was my last attempt, this route nonsense is just not worth the trouble. I'm going to ignore them from now on. I'm getting so over Niantic.
Thanks. Trying to port over “Missions-like” things and having a series of Routes that are all linked up. Done some “<village> Walks” and some “<place> Watering Holes” (noting the cafes as well as the pubs as I’ve heard pub crawl ones are a bit dicey).
Still, the AI is not my pal, and they’ve been added to the ever growing pile.
It would be almost impossible in Faversham to avoid pub or brewery related stops and have a reasonable route. I did get a rejection for one that started at an historic inn though.
I submitted one that went from an 18th century Inn across a park to another 18th century Inn that was rejected within an hour.
I have one published that goes from an 18th century paper mill now pub past another 18th century Inn then passes another 3 pubs, all poi published and still there.
Maybe they want a minimum of 5 pubs/inns on those routes.
Comments
OK. I have nothing processed in review queue since the 17/08. Everything else accepted is AI.
I'm sure when I've had a batch go through, usually about 8 all at the same time others have posted the same.
Maybe once a month someone at the office draws the short straw and they get put on route review duty for a couple of days.
I've still got kne waiting for since 21st of July
Makes mine feel not so bad. How many in total?
Does anyone have routes in review older than this date. Be interesting.
@The26thDoctor-PGO
Re your comment <<<<Maybe once a month someone at the office draws the short straw and they get put on route review duty for a couple of days.>>>>
Ma ha ha ahahahah. I can picture them in huddle in their scrum meeting - shaking in horror that one of them may be the chosen one.....
There you go. Everyone feel better about your wait time for Routes whilst I go and cry in the corner. Again.
OMG. Really. F' me
Cup of tea help dearie.... Is all I have to offer. Ouch. Three months now
And is your review queue long?
I don’t have things from 2022 in the Wayfarer queue now with the Challenge but I do have things from 1st January this year still In Queue, so yes?
06/07 is my earliest. I did have lots stuck at the same time as @PkmnTrainerJ-ING 's until a month ago. Maybe they took pity on me.

Well @PkmnTrainerJ-ING That was a very useful post by the team
Generic list of answers. Select appropriate. Hit send.
Yes we cannot process fast enough so keep submitting and we will keep opening up route creation to more people.
Sigh.
Still I will keep creating :-)
I have to say. I wonder at what point my childish interest in wanting to know if anything got reviewed will go. There is a sense of expectation and trepidation yet more resignation of looking each day
I wonder if they get trained in being vague.
7 in total, but I did 2 on Saturday and 1 2 weeks ago, the other 3 have ranged from 3 to 5 weeks
I'm losing motivation to even make them..
Added them everywhere in the city including parks and still all 16 in review.. none declined either

Made it to 100 badges and the game didn't break. I guess that's a positive
I wonder if there’s a limit. Don’t gym badges only count up to a certain number?
1,000 I believe.
YAY! Had a route published today. AI must have accepted it as it was instant.
Nice, well done.
I've had a 2 cell drop from the last couple of routes that were over 2km. Could just be coincidence, I'll try a few longer ones including a 12.5km over the weekend and see what happens
YAY. Yeah I would go AI. I don't mind AI approvals. As I can then reverse walk it straight away and get the badge ;-)
But I would rather my review queue go down.
Well done!! Toot toot

0.285 has mostly visual additions it seems
Badge redesign looks ok on poi with clean pictures not so much otherwise
Map maybe seems a bit easier to navigate when viewing a route. Route Nearby pop up has returned for me :/
Create a route screen has changed very slightly.
You can delete a route that's in submission. Unfortunately you don't get the submission back to create another.
I'm not sure if it has changed anything while walking a route, I'll find out later.
Stats are still as before.
No map preview yet :(
So PkmnTrainerJ, did you do something productive with a morning off? …Yes?
6km is pretty productive.

I don't think it's definitive that routes with pubs in them are always rejected.
I have one that's been in for a month and I know of others that are still around.
It would be almost impossible in Faversham to avoid pub or brewery related stops and have a reasonable route. I did get a rejection for one that started at an historic inn though.
I submitted one that went from an 18th century Inn across a park to another 18th century Inn that was rejected within an hour.
