In Wayfarer's review, is there an error regarding the road view verification?

During Wayfarer’s review, if you check the road view through the shape of the person for accurate positioning, there is a phenomenon that bounces and returns to the original state.

I wonder if it’s just me or others too.

In the past, I used to use it even if it was uncomfortable after coming back
Now, the symptoms that keep coming back are repeating.
And even if the road view appears, the symptoms of returning to the original state have intensified as it bounces right away when you press the direction on Google Maps.

Not just you.

And the icon is named, or at least used to be named, Pegman.

I’ve never heard of the name Pegman before.
I searched it as you told me, and it’s Pegman!
Thank you for the information.

You’re having the same problem!
I wrote it on the discussion board because I can’t even check it with Roadview at all now.

I have been having this problem for months. I thought it was a me problem since I have been having trouble getting other things to load. I can usually get it to work after a few attempts, but sometimes I have to exit to Google Maps and guess.

Wayfarer is based on Google Maps…
If you can’t see it through Google Roadmap, isn’t there a problem?

Of course, because Google Maps is not up to date… I go in and check the latitude and longitude and then I check the road view through the map of my country.

Wouldn’t it be right to take quick action if there is a function but it cannot work?

I feel like this last message confused the issue of content versus user interface.

Let’s keep this particular topic on the Street View UI not working well.

As a work around, you can often click on the Google button on the bottom left corner of the view and open up the (mostly) same information on the main Google Maps website.

The problem we’re seeing could be any number of issues:
Operating system
Browser (including version)
Browser plugins
Niantic’s implementation of the website causing issues/conflicts with GMap’s Street View (that is, JavaScript interfering with each other)
GMap’s Street View implementation that is having problems

That is a fairly large problem space to explore.

Personally, I was thinking I was accidentally clicking on something that would go back to the overhead view. But, I too am glad it is not just me. :->

Personally, I’m running Firefox on Linux (Debian Stable). I figured that alone is enough to put me in a minority user case that I generally assume anything acting funny is just me.

Thank you for your answer.

As I said above, the solution you mentioned is a method I’m using.
If it is not possible to check with the street view of Google Maps connected to Wayfare, we click on a similar location through the route to copy latitude and longitude, paste it on the map of our country, and check it with road view.

However, if there is the same problem in many countries… I think there is a problem because something collides with Wayfarer and Google Maps’ Street View rather than the operating system or browser plug-in problem.

I’ve tried it on three browsers: Edge, Chrome, and Whale, but they all have the same symptoms.

Country shouldn’t matter.

Rather than seeing it as an operating system, browser, and plug-in problem for personal computers, I’m talking about the same symptoms for users in various countries.

Been an issue for months for me, too. Many times, I have to open up Google Maps just to get a good look at Street View, so it’s seems to be an issue with Wayfarer and not Google Maps.

Maybe this should be moved to Bug Reports & Technical Support, since it seems to be a bug?

Moved, thank you

There seem to be a lot of people who are experiencing the same symptoms.
I don’t know how to get to bug reports and technical support.

However, I hope this problem will be resolved quickly so that a smooth review can proceed.

Roli moved it to that topic, so nothing to worry about.

Hey @Royalgeu ,

Thanks for the report.

We are aware of this issue and our team is working on a fix. Thanks,

In my observations, there is both an issue with getting into Street View on some browsers, and an issue with a commonly used community plug-in which makes you drop Pegman twice. These two issues are probably connected but I would ask those using the plug-in to report plug-in-free.

I get it in Chrome without plug-ins.

Niantic started as a part of Google, and seems to have largely stayed with Google products. I figure Chrome is least likely to be buggy.

Not saying this is your case, and yes I’m also experiencing it on pluginless Chrome. Just reminding to those who do use it.

Yeah, it doesn’t seem to matter what browser you’re using on what device. I’m getting it on both my Windows laptop and Android phone, and my phone has no plug-ins on Chrome; I also use Chrome on my laptop, but have gotten the issue with Firefox there, too.
