Hello! This is my first post on here lol so bare with me. I’ve tried submitting this POI twice with both times getting denied by the AI. I thought it was because you could see a few vehicles in my first attempts picture. I took a better picture excluding any vehicles on my second attempt. I tried appealing my second attempt thinking it was because of my supporting information being bad, so I further explained my reasoning, still got denied for a whole another reason as you can see. All of this to say, would it worth resubmitting a third time and explaining that this is not a “aged care” facility and therfore a sensitive location, but rather the main offices where that type of care could be arranged on the other side of town where the actual facilities are? Or just give up on this POI, thanks in advance!
Hello and Welcome,
Personally, without solid evidence I would Reject under “Sensitive Location”.
Who visits this building…
Staff?
Family Members?
Patients?
How can you show that this is the case?
Good Luck.
Welcome to the forum!
I don’t think I would pursue this. To me, it does fall into a sensitive area:
Do you have any other links you could provide that would convince me that this should be accepted? The one you gave reinforces my opinion that this is sensitive (and the events there are seasonal):
Be aware that my opinion is not a matter of fact Niantic statement, just a fellow explorer’s point of view.
We’ve had similar conversations in the past, there was a feeling among many that these were not necessarily sensitive locations, plenty of older folk like to play PoGo too. I don’t see “aged care” as a rejection criteria..
Hospice care is for patients who are dying.
The appeal statement is incorrect as “aged care” is not an ineligible location at all and PoIs at a normal type of care home could be accepted such as fitness facilities, a day room with social activities, or unique artwork.
This is linked to a hospice though, which is where people go to die, so that I would consider a sensitive location and ineligible.
I wouldn’t submit this again.
while its not specifically ineligible, the sensitive part leaves it to interpretation. The word hospise throws it all off since this is just the administration office to direct and figure out hospice for patients. But since i can’t find anything substantial to prove it I’ll just let it be and move on. it’s unfortunate though, as i really can’t find any other POIs that would be even closer to valid. thanks everyone
I can see you have quite a number of PoIs in the area. But 2 cells down (my pin is on the sign you submitted I think), you seem to have an unsubmitted church and an official post office, both of which I would expect to be eligible
huh. i have never noticed that church. ill have to check it out after work. looking at the google. i guess it just opened in January. thanks! i guess I need to search through maps to find possible candidates. Ive mostly driven around and see what i can find / what i know from living here so these years haha.
side note, how did u get the grid lines?
ooooo the post office is already one, but the POI is in the wrong spot. not sure if it can be moved/ if itd be worth it. ive heard stories about trying to correct the location and getting them completely removed…
Wayfarer is great with walking because you do notice things that you’d never spot travelling a bit faster 
sometimes its worth parking up in an area and then just having a look around on foot.
What is this? Might be worth a look too as it might be something enabling exploration!
The grid lines are an overlay on the official map, you can google “wayfarer tools”-you have to install some stuff to help it work. I am not very technical and had help with getting it working
You can ask help chat to do the move - street view should be sufficient evidence that the move is needed and a post office is usually considered eligible so I don’t think it will be removed
Usually the removals happen if something is wrong or ineligible
Help chat is accessed via logging in to wayfarer online (where you check your submissions) and look for the help tab. It will open a little chat bubble and there’s a category for location edits
I’ll add to this. In game locations edits are largely useless - you have no opportunity to provide proof and can only move the pin by 10m, so it’s just a recipe for disaster and would not recommend anyone uses it. Help chat is awesome, and also way faster. Hours rather than weeks
Wikipedia says this trail is for long-distance travel for cars but points to POIs, but I’m not sure it would count as a trail marker since it’s not a hiking or biking trail? All of the stops on this trail would be highly eligible though I think
Ah yes so if its for cars to follow then only the actual locations themselves would be eligible rather than the trail as a route. But I bet they would each have multiple points of interest if they are tourist attractions so might be well worth a visit to fill in extra PoIs
oooo ill have to go and search those out! thank you for the tips. how’d you guys find that? Just street viewing around the area?
Street View, AppleMaps Look Around in some areas, OpenstreetMap and Waymarkedtrails is usually how I go about finding eligible stuff
Yeah some people are incredible at spotting things on street view
I am okay at it, I can spot some things. One other thing I noticed is you have a PoI at a gym not far from this location, but I wondered if its just 1 room of equipment or if it has other facilities there? My gym has squash courts, a cafe, pools, notice boards, and also outdoor courts. So worth doing a check there to see if you can add any other PoIs there gyms are often unsubmitted too, so if you have other gyms in the area try them! Often rejected initially but the appeals team will accept
thanks! i guess i got some more things to look foward to digging into on my days off coming up lol.
ill have to go double check on my off days but im pretty sure theyre in on room as the bullding is pretty small when ive driven by. Thank you! i have sobmany things to explore im the next few days haha
Hope it goes well!!
