Location has moved to a new physical spot

Wayspot Appeals

  • Wayspot Title: Centro Universitário Uniasselvi
  • Location (lat/lon): -26.7784113/-51.0119577
  • City: Caçador
  • Country: Brasil
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): **
  • Additional Information (if any): I did my first submission for a location move and I reckon that I was too shy on the description - I only said “It has moved a few blocks” because I thought it would be reviewed by local people instead of Niantic’s team. Let me clearer: the location “Centro Universitário Uniasselvi” is a small local university that has moved from the current in-game location at -26.7784113/-51.0119577 to -26.7793125,-51.0102287. It’s old location is now a bike parts shop called “Batistella Peças e Acessórios para Motos”. Both locations can be verified through Google Maps, I didn’t include the e-mail screenshot because it was simply a “rejected” which I believe was for the lack of information I provided.

Hello and welcome @washingtonwstkn

Did you attempt to do this through in game edits?

Or Did you use the orange bubble helpchat?

The later method is how you should do it. You can fully explain, give relevant weblinks and some up to date photos of the old and new locations.

Hi @elijustrying ! I used the “Report Pokéstop issue”, when you click on a location then use the top-right arrow → Top-right 3 dots. Do you mean the “Edit location” button in the same screen would be the correct way to do it?

Here’s a photo of the old location itself as it is today (at -26.7784113/-51.0119577)

This is now “Batistella Peças e Acessórios”.

Here’s the new location for “Centro Universitário Uniasselvi” (at -26.7791818,-51.0109887,254m)

Thanks.

Using the help bubble is in my view the best method.

You can attach all the evidence via this route. It’s best to do this in a new window as you don’t get an email trail to follow.

I think since you have provided new information here it is worth waiting for a wayfarer team response to this to see what they advise at this stage.

None of those options in that specific menu selection are for location adjustment requests.
