Location poi

I created this poi over a year ago. It was recently upgraded to a gym. Now I’ve noticed that someone has changed this location, but now this poi is no longer correct. (probably for their own benefit) What can I do about this? Is there a way to put it back in the right place so that it is correct for the games? And can I report this player who has entered incorrect locations?

I don’t know if this is the right topic, my apologies if this is in the wrong place.

If you mean that you want to return it to the real world position where the object actually exists, help chat at https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help can do this for you. They will want evidence, such as geotagged photos or a 360 video to confirm what you say is correct.

I was a little confused with the phrasing of the question I copied. Only make the request for the location edit for real world location issues, not more convenient game play reasons.

The more I checked into this, the more confused I am. There are very similar looking portals on iitc (no longer a part of wayfarer) at both the coordinates you gave.

Historische ster (wandel pad)

The first photo you provided has been moved. Please refer to my in-game photo. Your screenshot shows the original location where the POI should be. The second photo shows a different POI (stars with the names of soldiers who fell in the First World War).

i know this map is out of date, but the coordinates you say it has been moved to are at a different star. you can explain to help chat. i don’t need to understand lol.

All these stars are linked to soldiers who fell in WW1. They all bear the name of a soldier.

The red one (soldaten ster WW1) has been moved by someone to another C17 cell so that it ended up next to the poi (historische ster) . But this is not correct. The soldaten ster WW1 cannot be there. I hope you understand now.

I have already used the help chat. They keep asking for photos and videos with the correct geotag. I have done this several times, but they keep asking for more photos. Even though the evidence clearly shows that it has been in the right place for over a year. I don’t know what else I can do. Can anyone help?

This is the same as the one discussed here?

Hi @daylancl
I’ve merged your two topics together. Thanks @cyndiepooh

can you help me with this problem?

We Ambassadors are not Niantic staff.

To paint a clearer picture though, you may want to add the evidence you have provided via help chat and the supporting photo of the wayspot in question.

From the latest streetview dated July 2025, I cannot infer where the POI would be located. It seems the objects do seem to occur along Leeuwkestraat rather than the corner proposed.

Sadly I can’t but I’ve some more questions.
I’ve found that we’ve discussed your star submissions earlier. In that previous thread one was accepted and the second (from over 400 on 17km) not.
Did you’ve more accepted stars in the meanwhile? Have they added the photo of the removed star to the existing one?

Thanks for the appeal, @daylancl! Based on the evidence provided, we’ve moved the Wayspot to the correct location.
