I get many nominations of signs with maps over either residential or commercial/industrial areas. While I can see how it’s informative you only really need that information if you’re going to visit someone’s house or a business. How do I review these? Example: [unnamed]

When I have doubts, I always go back to this statement from the Criteria Acceptance page at Niantic Wayfarer Must meet at least one of the three eligibility criteria A great place for exploration A great place for exercise A great place to be social with others I consider how well the submitter…

Not all maps are worthy of being wayspots. I like maps for trails - they meet the explore criteria in my opinion. And i like city maps that show you where interesting/touristy places are. I think those also fulfill the explore criteria. But a map that shows the layout of a housing complex or a bus…

A comment of mine from a few month back: [image] General Query General Discussion I recently got two such signs accepted, including one being an appeal. Someone had got one approved: Terrace Villas Community on Makati Circle (37.249162,-121.806056) [rochester] I thoug…

Who is exploring the industrial campus of a company?

TBH, I think you’re just in the “more is better” mindset here. I absolutely do not believe that the purpose of this map is to help people explore this campus.

Everything here is a generic business, and there’s nothing else to visit (sometimes these areas have parkland or lakes for example). I would lean towards rejecting.

i would agree that a map meets exploration criteria only if there is something there to explore. i would have to be convinced that it does. with a park, very little convincing is needed. with a commercial campus, it would be difficult to convince me.

One of the buildings is literally a FOUNDRY. That’s nothing but heavy machinery. And look at all the warning signs in the background. [image] [image] I don’t know what you’re talking about with my “prejudices.” This is clearly not a site meant for people to wander around on.

OK. So it may be safe to stand at this map. But how does the map meet criteria? Maps generally meet the Explore criteria. But if you CANNOT explore what is shown on the map, then it doesn’t meet the Explore criteria. A map by itself does not meet any criteria if the only place you can stand is dir…

Some of these types of businesses are open to the general public but many are not and have secured property to limit access. A map of a complex like this that just tells me warehouse locations and HR admin isn’t any more “intersting” (eligible) than the map at my office that tells me where HR sits,…
