Duplicate Overture Import Report Rejected

Texaco Bradford on Avon

51.349221,-2.242881

I reported this import as a duplicate of another import ‘ Texaco ‘, which is just to the west at 51.349193,-2.242991. I chose this of the two to report since it is pinned on top of the fuelling area and the other is on the shop part where you pay which seemed safer. The other one is currently in the Power Spot pool as well, I’ll fess to that. There should only be one wayspot for this business either way. Thank you.

I always wonder if I should try to clean this kind of thing up. Some of the buildings on a nearby industrial estate have so many imports and it would be a project to clean that up!

Feels like from this response, maybe Niantic don’t want us to?

I’ve done a lot of these already. Often things that are duplicates of community wayspots. They are almost always removed as I have suggested. I think what happened here is either they think there is a convenience store and a filling station rather than one business or they think the one I reported is better positioned.

OK here’s another report that’s been rejected:

Fitzmaurice Grammar School, 51.343438,-2.250666

I reported this as this building is no longer a school, so either the wayspot should be removed or renamed to ‘ Fitzmaurice House ‘ , but that could be considered repurposing and anyway I cannot submit a title edit as it does not spawn on the Pokemon Go game map.

Hey @tomwe ,

This Wayspot is connected to “Costa Express” which is a different business altogether. Is this assessment not accurate?

Given that the imported wayspots are titled “Texaco” and “Texaco Bradford on Avon”, it is quite reasonable for anyone who seems them to think they are both representing Texaco.

if one of them represents Costa Express, it should be titled accordingly.

:thinking:

It is titled “Costa Express”:confused:

I don’t see that name on the wayfarer map. Is it possible there is another Overture import there? Costa Express is a vending machine within this filling station’s convenience store. It looks something like this:

(that’s not my photo though)

:eyes:

Odd. Not on the wayfarer map it isn’t, and I don’t think any add-ons could change the names of wayspots.


I’m not sure a coffee machine should be eligible to be an imported wayspot, even given the unrestricted criteria that were used for them.

These two Wayspots were on top of each other. That’s what caused the confusion. It has now been retired.

please confirm which wayspot/s have been retired?

Hah! That was [nearly] impossible to detect for anyone outside of Niantic :slight_smile:

Actually, the plugin’s Nearby Wayspots list does include it but who would know to look and find it there.

Could you take a look at the old school building report as well? Thank you.

I have edited my post as “impossible” is not technically correct. Correct in practice though :wink:
