Messed up with the location

My question is: at the noment we as nominator can not edit the location. is it planned that we can also edit it in the future, if not, is it allowed that i write in the Support text that i made an error, post the correct coordinates and ask the reviewer to put it on the correct Spot, or would that he abuse? the reason is, when i was in the US i nominated some trial marker but 1 when nominating one i saw some days ago that the location of one of them is wrong. they have the cooridinates on the marker, so i can proof the correct location. iam honestly dont know what i have done but it is 0,2 miles away from the correct spot on top of one other of my nominations

Hello,

You can give this information to helpchat so they can pull the submission out of voting and that you can make a new nomination with the correct location.

Good luck

it is not in votin, it is still on hold. and i can not make a new nomination because it was on holiday last august and iam back in germany. so i will never use this wayspot, but i like creating them :smiley:

If it is on hold you can withdraw the nomination by editinh it and then click withdraw.

It is better to withdraw it then submitting something in a wrong location.

Unfortunately it does mean you can’t resubmit as I have understood by your answer, but it is better than possible sanctions on your account.

thats why i ask if its okay to write into the supporting text if this is alowwed what i try to do. maybe an ambassador knows more about it. if not i will withdraw it

If you ask reviewers in supporting text you can create confusion along the reviewers.

It is best to withdraw.

No, it’s not allowed to use the supporting field for that kind of information.
Reviewers could only “choose a better location” if it’s <100m off. So they can’t correct that mistake while review.
You should withdraw your nomination.

I would ask help chat for support before withdrawing it (or leaving it in hold for eternity, I mean who knows maybe one day they’ll allow those type of edits and you’ll regret withdrawing it)

thanks for the answers of you 2. i think asking the help chat is a good idea. and letting them on hold for ever is also possible. could it maybe be a problem with the upload later? the wayspot with the wrong location is exact on the same location as the wayspot below it. so that it however tooks the location from the wayspot before?

That’s a bummer :confused:

Please create a help chat request with all the relevant information (correct location), release the hold and reply to this comment. I’ll make the changes.

It’s indeed a problem with how the app handles it. The coordinates won’t refresh sometimes if you don’t exit to the main screen (over world map) during submitting, at least it’s a thing that happened in the past

many thanks. i oponned a help chat request, its about my submission.“Schabarum-Skyline Trail, Mile 6.25”. should i release it from hold before you can make the changes? if i do this, the nomonation will go into voting with a wrong location. should i not wait for the edit and do it after that?

yes that could happen, i had a bad connnection so i had to distance nominate the one with the problem, and i did it after i nominate the other one at the correct location :smiley: but i was sure i put the distance nomination to the correct spot :smiley:

Please release the hold now.

That should not be a problem.
