An update from the Niantic team that their new solution is on the way shortly.
Portal Nominations are now re-enabled so that we can begin building our queue of submissions to review before our new Niantic Spatial website goes live. Soonâ˘. Recon | Niantic Spatial, Inc.
I donât trust my memory 100%, but I donât remember previously getting the narrative screens that come up now in Ingress when you enter nominations.
To me, they are new, but I wouldnât bet my house on it. If they were there before, then nothing has changed!
Two cents worth - the Ingress Intel map is easier to use than Lightship, but Lightship gives more details. I donât think I could do Wayfarering (?) without them.
Incidentally, I did do a submission through Ingress and it all looked the same as it did before, except you have to get it EXACTLY right at submission time rather than editing it after submission.
The character lmit in Supplemental Information (definitely less than 385 characters when nominating in Ingress) when nominiating through Ingress is definitely less than Pokemon Go and less than Ingress had when it was part of Wayfarer.
