Re: Are trail markers valid?
I tend to review trail markers, especially when I see a lot of wayspots already in the area, like I'd review a map of the system. Notable points within the trail and intersections in the system should be accepted. A simple marker noting that your still on said trail should likely not be accepted (don't submit the little… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Yes, I know of this. Imagine a person decided to nominate every trail marker in a large state park (in the USA). Yes, that does happen. I have some problem with the number of nominations that produces. If the person decides to nominate almost 50 km of trail markers in one state park, how many will be accepted and how long… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
You're under the misconception that the sole reason to add POI's is to improve gameplay, when it isn't. Niantics have already previously said "please keep in mind that our goal is not to ingest every possible POI to get as many Portals/Wayspots as possible, but rather to ingest unique, interesting, artistic or notable… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Here some of my experiences: Make the title unique: In my area every hiking trail marker has it's own emergency location number, place it in the title Link to the trail: search online for sites who show the trail use named trails: just a path would not go through make photosperes next to it and even when you fufill all… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Again, i don't agree. Trail marker are a very good thing for the game, because they allow us to nominate some place in natural area. They are the only thing we can found in nature to nominate as a POI. (as long as Niantic don't allow natural features) And in many place, there are no name on the trails markers, because it's… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Thanks for the reply @Theisman-ING , please don't worry I'm under no such misconception. I certainly don't think every POI should be ingested. I even mention in my message that I would have limits as well, and that we all have different thresholds. When I read through all the criteria and guidelines I haven't yet seen… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
I certainly think it is an interesting problem as we all have different thresholds of what is and isn't acceptable. I suppose I try and look at trails from the user perspective as well. I can imagine families with young children having a great time following way points all around the trail, it may even encourage them to… -
Re: Are trail markers valid?
Depends on your definition of Trail If you're in the mountains and you'll get hopelessly lost without them: ok I see a lot of nominations for markers of touristic walking routes (loops of 3 to 10km). These will guide you for a tour, with directional markers on each and every crossroad. Along these routes you'll pass by…
