How to get a waystop accepted

How about the row of trees picture I put up could that be one even if its a natural feature I have seen lots of those accepted in the game with my friends that I have in pokemon go

Hello again @patsy1985

These places are not suitable as wayspots as they don’t meet the basic requirements.

It sounds as though you are still trying hard to find suitable places. Have you had any success?

I was wondering if is these would be a good waystop, i was told that the middle picture can’t because it is a natural feature but in the game I have seen alot of trees as a waystop

Most natural features that have been eligible most likely have a sign noting what they are. Trees in themself are not eligible, but if they had a sign that explained what species they are and gave some educational info, that sign would make the tree possibly eligible.

I think you may also be in the mindset that you’d like a Wayspot near where you live, but we can’t have this mindset. Not all places will have POI that meet criteria, and not all of us will be able to have a Wayspot near our home to play at. I certainly do not, and I do have to leave my apartment building in order to play. I wish there was some interesting POIs at my apartment building, but there’s nothing.

So far yes,I have the old police station and the train station as a waystop I just thought the field and the row of trees that is beside me could be one since they are not on Private Property

That as good that you have managed to get some wayspots.

The fields next to you are not suitable places unfortunately.
Do you still have the same issue about needing WiFi to play?

Yes,unfortunately but I do know my issue though I need a new sim card for my hot spot to work on my phone cause I have an old one and it won’t work right for it

That’s really unfortunate.
And with winter coming going out will be difficult I guess.
However until you get a sim and a way to use the phone as you go around then playing will be very tricky for you.
And it’s just not possible to have a wayspot within the wifi radius as we have already looked around that specific area.I know it’s very disappointing but the key to playing is the phone and mobile data, rather than a specific wayspot.

Unfortunately Gogama does not put up signs like that and it is the same as benches with plaques and it doesn’t have many parks,it Unfortunately has one but it’s on the school lot for the children to play on

Yes you are correct the play area at the school is not something you can submit.

The fields do look lovely and it’s great that you have them to look at and walk over, but that lot is just not suitable.

Ihave moved the current discussion into the previous one as you also posted there today. This keeps everything tidy and makes it easy to see all of the advice and how things are progressing. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I have moved this one here too :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

The middle picture looks like the place had been specially decorated for Halloween?

Because that is something that lasts a short space of time it is not suitable as a focus point because it is not always like that.

Yes the yard was but it’s the trees that is outside of the fence I wanted to know if it can be acceptable or not because I was told it was a natural feature but I have seen alot with trees as a waystop

The trees that you see as wayspots may well be in because of information about them that makes them special. This is usually a specific official plaque that is educational.

So since these are not trees that have been put there for a reason but just naturally grew there that is why they are not submittable.

Um I also have a house that is near me that is used to house people like:truckers,road crew and some from the I am Gold mine that is near Gogama could I use that I was told that the town owns it and rents it out

Also right now Gogama is trying to get 1,000 signatures to get service Ontario in Gogama if and when we get could I also use it as a waystop

Those are interesting circumstances and I can see why you think it’s special.

However as it’s used as a place that people live it sounds as though it would be considered as a private residential property. This would make it not suitable unfortunately

Can you explain what that is?

We are trying to get the Service Ontario which is where we get our drivers license from in the town of Gogama hoping to anyways

Ok that sounds very administrative but maybe you contact us if you get that so we can talk it through.
