How to move an invisible waypoint?
Hi everyone, I was wondering how to actually get a waypoint moved if due to bad photosphere locations, the pin was moved to be blocked both by cell and the exclusion zone thus it doesn't appear in ingress or pogo.
This was approved but
The photo spheres of the building were all squashed to one side. (Bad gps signal due to ice hockey rink roof).
(The hallway photospheres aren't even aligned along the hallway but stacked diagonally - they are definitely in the wrong spots)
What this means is the review process likely led to the pin being moved.
The gallery is down the main entrance hallway and to the right behind the arena as the layout visible in the weirdly closely overlapping photo spheres show.
But with the waypoint invisible to both ingress and pogo how do I get a darn edit to it?
Anywhere in that red box would be valid right?
Resubmitting gets it duplicated now I believe so that option is out.
Should I use the >10m form? I can't judge how far the waypoint was moved to during review as it's invisible except during dupe checking.
Is it a lost cause here?

You could try to use the form, or you could just post it in the location edit appeals forum. I would probably suggest doing the latter, as awaiting the results of a location edit from the form can take months and you won't actually get a reply confirming whether it's been successful or not, whereas on the forum it'll get seen by a Niantic staff member who will see to it more quickly and tell you if your attempt to get it moved was successful, rejected, or needs more information.
Are they usually amicable to "Please move the pin to anywhere just outside the exclusion zone of the 3 mural waypoints so it appears in at least one game - I swear it's still on the footprint of the gallery" type requests?
No, they will reply "Appeal Denied - Thanks for the appeal, Agent. Based on our research, the Portal does not require any adjustments at this time."
Yeah I figured, hence why I wonder if there are anyways to apply an edit to it myself (after getting properly positioned and non conflicting/overlapping photospheres) and rely on community review falling on my side.
Guess I have to let it go until all waypoints in the system are somehow interactable.
Thanks away
No.
Yeah lol I just can't see it working when that's essentially what I'm asking
