Additional information:

This sculpture is located on a rocky ridge at the top of the Roc des Bœufs mountain, as it can be seen in a 360° street view https://goo.gl/maps/cYjCT1QxhveP5REH9

The location of the top of the mountain is off in Google Maps, the sculpture is not visible from the satellite view, and the satellite images are distorted.


The wayspot (and the street view) are located at that wrong location, and in ingress, it’s impossible to get to the portal without drifting or being able to fly.


On the satellite view of Apple Maps, the ridge is clearly visible, and the creek is visible on the street view.

In IITC, other background maps show the correct location of the top of the mountain, and where the wayspot should be.

    Thanks @dw235 helping me this forum ask to put this portal at the good place.

    This summer an ENL could deploy it, because is portal drifted, but impossible to farm keys. He said us the portal is not well located.

    I went to climb this montain the 17th octobre. I did not capture it because it’s impossible to go in the portal. My phone have a GPS that doesn’t never drift at all.

    So Thanks locate it at the GPS position of my picutre that is the good place.

    If you very be carfull you can undersand the the mark of the summit of the montain it not really well placed, in real it’s more in west side.

    Thank you

  • Thanks for the appeal, @dw235-ING! Based on the evidence provided, we’ve made necessary changes to the Portal's location.
