Hello everyone,
While reviewing I found this area with no streetview for a wayspot proposal, I thought everything was fine with the area, but I found 2 wayspots next to each other with almost identical looking photo’s, I am almost certain as well that this is the exact same nomination.
Here are the images from the suspicious wayspots:
I will edit some coordinates here:
Latitude: 51.167793
Longitude: 4.659694
(This is the location)
This is the submission that was currently for me to review around the same area next to these suspicious wayspots:
Could this be looked into?
Thanks
For those also wanting to take a look, the lat/long together is 51.16779631518288, 4.659697121950561. I only see one wooden climbing structure on satellite view at this location
This does seem quite odd, as those 2 photos do look similar. For the ones at 51.16781185313399, 4.659675227165267, there should be one Wayspot for the climbing structure, as it is locat4ed there on satellite view. Your 3rd screenshot seems like you zoomed out of the map, and while I can find the Fort van Kessel, the Fort seems to be about 3km away from the 2 Wayspots in question. Here’s the satellite view where you can see a single climbing structure, not more than one, for reference:
It’s possible that this could be a case of abuse, and, in that case, you’ll want to use the Reporting Abuse link at the top of the forums to report this. They appear to be the same climbing structures, and being only one can be seen on satellite view, at least one of the Wayspots should be removed, IMO.
***Slight mod edit
The link for Reporting Abuse directs to the link for Wayfarer, not Recon. No links here at the top of the forums should direct to Recon, since that’s a part of Spatial/Ingress, which aren’t a part of Wayfarer anymore.
I just clicked on the Reporting Abuse link, and it did take me to the correct page on the Wayfarer help site:
The link also has Wayfarer in it: Reporting Abuse in Wayfarer — Wayfarer Help Center
Recon has a separate link to use to report abuse now, and it’s this: Reporting Abuse in Recon — Recon Help Center
Sorry, I should have been more detailed. I meant the reply Emails I get back when the decision is made, those almost always link towards recon, even when it is a pokestop or gym.
That may be due to it possibly also being on the Ingress map, so they are directing you to also report to Recon to have it removed from their map. Wayfarer can only removed from the Wayfarer map, so many times they do mention if you’re looking to remove from the Ingress map, too, you have to contact Recon. It’s kind of become standard these days.
It is kind of standard indeed. Thanks for helping, will wait on staff to reply now to this thread on what they have come up with as a decision on this area.
I have removed one of the Wayspots.
