Beginning and End of Alphabet Wayspots

I was today years old when I learned you could sort your contributions alphabetically as well as chronologically, and that made me curious: what’s everyone’s first and last accepted wayspots when you sort that way? I thought that might be a really cool way to get a peek at what everyone’s done.

For me, the first one on the list isn’t an “A”, but a year:

And I don’t have any “Z” nominations, but I do have a relatively recent Y. Yes, I cringe looking at the crop on the main photo here, too. I’m going to have to ask my girlfriend to take me back there so I can replace the photo at some point. Not a hard ask; they had some really good drinks and pastries.

What a unique topic.

I did not know you could do that​:rofl:

Here are mine:

I also never even noticed that.


That reminds me there’s a part with a zipline near me that I might need to see about nominating.

I think you just won the forum :wink:

(Adapated from “won the internet”, for those that don’t immediately get this.)

The fact that you typed out the full morse code is impressive.

What a submission

So true haha

I have A but dont have Z

Out of curiosity, the first letter distribution (excluding edits and photos).

I was also this days old when I learned it… today.


These are mine :slight_smile:


Both are parks.

Love that title of the first one.

So creative


The second one was accepted on appeal, as it’s a baseball field that is in a city park but contracted to a high school that doesn’t have one on campus; the school campus is several kilometers away, so Niantic accepted an appeal to it being rejected for being at a school.

This is part of a two segmented panel telling the story of the plant Yerba mate. It was taken in Brazil.

And this was taken in Belgium.

Well, if I sort Alphabetical and take the default results, I get these two:

Eliminating all but Roman alphabet characters yields the following:

I think it’s kinda interesting that my “1” nomination is at the same spot as my “A” nomination, while my “Y” and “テ” nominations are thousands of miles apart. :slight_smile:

Well, that’s a coincidence.

This was alot of fun exploring!
