Re: Are trail markers valid?
It's not the trail marker we are supposed to evaluate. Reject trail marker is not good. Niantic should ban reviewer who reject trail marker because theses rejections are against the criteria. The 'generic' fact is not pertinent for trail marker because trail marker are juste a physical objet to attach a POI whitch… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
The fact that reviewer reject unnamed trail marker won't change the fact Niantic clairly said that they are ok to be a POI. You don't understand that a trail marker is just the physical point to attach the POI to. The thing we are supposed to evaluate is the trail they represented (or at least the sector of the trail where… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Trail markers are valid. How ever some trail markers will be better candidates for nominations than others. A simple icon on a marker will not be as strong as a candidate as one with a trail name. One with a trail name wont be as strong as one with a trail name with an artistic sign. -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
I don't say we have to evaluate differently urban and rural area. I have no problem with having less stop in my village than in town. I just say that we have to follow Niantic criteria without putting subjective point of view. Trail marker are eligible for Niantic, so we have to accept them. Each time someone reject a… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
This one looks to be an ineligble signpost / direction marker rather than a Trail Marker. This I would not accept. -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
I fully understand that the marker is the anchor for the trail. I was agreeing with@sogNinjaman-ING about if the trail is actually a named trail im more inclined to accept. If it just says “footpath” with no other names i would review it as a generic footpath and generally reject those lol. I get you’re very passionate… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
I review submissions too. And a trail marker in a natural area (like a forest) is the kind of submission i love to see. It's not random, it's the way to discover natural area. Of course when they are in town or in a village with other good wayspot near to them it's not the same, because once again: we evaluate the trail,… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
So when I read the AMA and all the guidelines it appears to me that trail markers are indeed valid submissions. For example if a trail has 25 markers then all 25 are candidates for nomination: if they are safe if they exist if the picture is clear if it is an obvious made marker (e.g. a post, a sign etc) there is nothing… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
From experience there's two main reasons trail marker would get rejected given its on an actual trail not attached to a roadway. No name and can't confirm location. There's many trail markers that are just an arrow or maybe even a post/bollard with no sign at all, tough to convince the reviewer that those are good points.… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
This is the perennial argument over trail markers. Yes, the trail is the point of interest, but it is the "anchor point" object, usually a trail marker, that gets submitted. At one end we have the "It is the trail being submitted, whatever the anchor point object is is unimportant because the trail is an automatic 5*…
