Title of the Wayspot: Caladenia Grove: Grand Spider Orchid
Location: -32.076537,115.899355
City: Perth
Country: Australia
Screenshot of the Rejection Email: Unable to submit as distance is too great (120 metres)
Additional information: There is a series of portals for information signs around a wetland. They were submitted in the early days of Ingress and some of the locations were (for whatever reason) not that accurate.
The sign I am reporting is at the wrong location. It should be 120 metres south east at approximately -32.077133, 115.900419. Requesting that the portal be moved as shown so that it matches the real life location of the sign.
Evidence that the current location is wrong:
Photosphere for current (incorrect) location: https://goo.gl/maps/YGjZKSKga8oAXQfv5
There is a sign at this location, but this sign is for one about 'Introduced Plants', not about Grand Spider Orchids. The sign does not match the title or the picture of the portal.
Comparison of the photosphere features with satellite imagery shows that the photosphere is in the correct location. No sign for 'Grand Spider Orchids' is visible on the photosphere.
Evidence that the portal should be located at -32.077133, 115.900419
Photosphere for proposed (correct) location: https://goo.gl/maps/uxPVCFT8cJTnNgsX8
The photosphere shows the Grand Spider Orchid sign. The photosphere also shows the same white pattern on the bricks underneath the sign, so it is definitely the same sign as the portal photo.
Rotating the photosphere 180 degrees shows features that can be matched up to aerial imagery, showing that the photosphere is in the correct location.

Thanks for the appeal, @Tntnnbltn-ING! Based on the evidence provided, we’ve made necessary changes to the Portal's location.
