When I started using wayfarer a few years ago I wasn’t super accurate with my pokestops, to be honest my descriptions were not so good but mainly the location. Here is the question:
This football pitch - (Niantic Wayfarer) ,is actually located on a boulefield, which is another wayspot " Åsaborg Boule-Plan" - (Niantic Wayfarer). I was wondering if they could be moved to their correct locations. Because they are incorrect.
So the footballfield wayspot in my opinion is most suitbale to be located between the two pitches in the big red circle in the middle of the picture above. And then ofcourse the boule court would be located in the middle of the boule court.
Personally I would say this is the most correct location for both.
I hope I can get help or advice, since then my wayfarer knowledge has improved and I’ve learnt a lot from this community and guidelines.
Thanks, best regards.
You can use Help Chat to request a location edit. They won’t do the change just to make something appear in Pokemon Go, but this does appear to be a genuinely mislocated pin. If you go to the help menu on the wayfarer site https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help a text box will pop up where you can make the request.
You will be able to give them the coordinates where you think the pin should go, and explain why, but they may choose different coordinates than you give them. It does look like it is pinned on the wrong sports court currently, but your pin does not seem to mark a visual anchor to represent the field to me.
Just making sure you know, you should not place the pin in the middle of the field.
From the location guidelines:
"Do:
- Place the pin at the real life location of the object you are nominating
- Place the pin along the edge or entrance of large objects such as buildings and sports fields. Placement should ideally be at the natural point of approach, such as a gate or door"
And from the clarification for sports fields:
Yes thank you. But would you say that it should be moved to a goal for example, instead of being on the boule court?
Thank you
The correct position for the boule ciurt is not in the middle as that would interfere with play. Where it is now I would say is correct so no need to move.
Given that from satellite the field lines for the football pitch can’t be seen I would have thought behind a goal would be the most obvious place for this to be corrected to, but that will be up to the help chat staff…..you make a suggestion to them as to where it could be placed and they decide.
There are 2 distinct football pitches the one near the boule court looks smaller? 5 or 7 aside?
The field to the left is larger and could be nominated separately.
And whilst you are trying to sort out these old pin positions
This needs its pin correcting ( probably where you were standing)
Yeah exactly, that one im gonna ask the help chat to move to the correct location too.
So your suggesting that I can nominate a seperate football pitch on the bigger one? If I understand what you are saying
