Is the Wayfarer Map Inaccurate? (Missing Accepted POI Data)

General Discussion
1

This is not a complaint about accepted POIs not being added to the game. I’m specifically referring to the map on the Wayfarer website.

When reviewing the Wayfarer map for potential POI nominations, I’ve noticed that some POIs that have been approved but are not currently in-game for valid reasons are still clearly marked on the Wayfarer map. However, other approved POIs that are likewise not in-game do not appear on the map at all.

This makes it extremely difficult to determine which areas already have accepted POIs when planning future nominations. An area may appear to have no accepted POIs on the Wayfarer map, when there are actually approved POIs in that location that simply aren’t being displayed.

I’m also not sure whether this is related to the age of the nomination, the date it was approved, the game it was approved for, or something else.

Is there a reason why some accepted but not-yet-in-game POIs are displayed on the Wayfarer map while others are missing? Or is this potentially a map/data issue?

I’m mainly trying to understand how reliable the Wayfarer map is for determining whether an area already has accepted POIs before planning potential areas for new nominations.

Hey @KiiNkYL0v3 ,

Thanks for writing in with your feedback.

It will be a lot easier for me to explain if you could please share a few examples.

Best,

On the map, obviously dark red are approved POI in-game. Red spots with white middle sections are approved POI not in-game. I marked two yellow spots for reference, which I am aware of as approved POI not in-game. I’m positive there are several more just within the small map I provided.

My question is as to why the yellow spots - approved POI that are not in-game, are not showing up as red circles with white interiors.

Thank you.

Approval date of the two yellow spots / POI are 2025-08-25 and 2025-09-03.

These two locations have been removed at the request of the property owners.

You previously advised that the Gazebo at the water that is a marked approved POI not in-game is a location removed at the request of the property owners, yet it still appears on the map?

No, it has not been removed.
