Re: Walking Path in park denied
The sign is a physical marker for the walking path. Do you deny that there is a walking path? You can see it in both map and satelite view. Named trails are not required, just a physical marker for the obvious trail. The new criteria lists hiking trails and biking trails as eligible examples under a great place for… -
Re: Are Footbridges acceptable POI?
Niantic used the circular reasoning that trail markers are eligible as Wayspots because being Wayspots encourages people to exercise. The problem is that this very same circular reasoning can be applied to anything along a walking path, including sidewalks. It is why I prefer reasoning that is based on an identifiable and… -

Re: New Onboarding & Review Flow - Discussion

So if the object doesnt appear on street view, and isnt visible from above, for example a trail marker out in some fields. Before we were instructed to 3* the location. What now?

Re: Thumbs Down - Review Feedback
If you mean in the sense that a trail marker as an object isn't that interesting you are correct. Maybe it's time to move on from the anachronistic belief that every wayspot has to be judged on its aesthetic value? What it represents can also be as important is what it literally is. If I misread and you were using markers… -
Re: Can you nominate a campsite?
You could try the skittle alley. I can’t tell exactly where it is but normally it’s one of the back parts of the building - there may be info about a pub skittle league ticks socialisation and is the SW equivalent of pub bowling greens. you might also be able to get a second wayspot at the trail trail marker sign nearby.… -
Re: Sign on multi-purpose trail not accepted
I tend to be very lenient on trails. When the Niantic made the switch to accepting trail markers, they did it under the idea that the POIs encourage explore and exercise by promoting moving down the trail. Their official statement had a word "Etc" for items that worked for this purpose. I am really hard pressed to find a… -
Bike Trail vs Road Sign?

When is something a trail marker for a bike trail and when is it a road sign? I spotted several new wayspots in the area near Stanford University recently and I'm curious about which ones people think should and shouldn't be valid candidates. In all cases I'm using Google street view, and in a couple I've circled the thing… -
