Additional Information (if any):
Almost every single pokestop and gyms got removed over night (25th of July) in both parks,
most of them exist since 2016
If you have google maps open in a desktop browser and single-left-click on a point on the map, a little pin pops up with the latitude and longitude. It’s harder on the mobile app.
I am struggling to match the Pokemon Go photos to the map, but hopefully someone else will be better at the visual match.
What might help is being physically there, at a point that has a good number of pokestops/gyms nearby, then go into the Portal Nomination screen, look at the map that is shown, make sure the toggle is on to show existing POI & powerstops, and take screenshots of these maps.
This will show what it is Pokemon Go. It will also confirm to you that the POI have been completely removed (or that they still exist but are removed from Pokemon Go).
I just tried it in the app. The app is being too clever. If you long-press, the pin shows a latitude & longitude for about half a second, until the app finds the nearest location and relabels the pin to match. I can’t find a way to keep the latitude & longitude visible or to get them back once they disappear.
I have successfully matched the Ingress map to the last Pokemon Go image, which is the one facing North with a powerstop at the very bottom. This is what is there in Ingress, of which only one (middle right) is remaining in Pokemon Go.
I thought my Pictures we’re easy to use, but seems like they are not🫣 but glad i have a Specialist Here. It literally the Same for all of the Park AS you found Out in that one picture
Nah, just my brain can’t cope, at the moment, with the images facing not-north
Hopefully that one match is sufficient to demonstrate the issue (although Scopefly staff wouldn’t need that). You now need to wait for a response from staff.
