[image] Testing New Wayspots in Pokémon GO News & Announcements Hello Wayfinders, You may have noticed that there are some newly added Wayspots in Pokémon GO in selected areas of France, Italy, and Spain. These Wayspots have been added to the map as part of an…

As a stop gap measure, regarding your privacy concerns: consider not sending those postcards and just delete them :slightly_smiling_face: . Good luck I hope your issue is addressed!

All gifts do that to a point, albeit not via road names. Maybe you can prioritise sending these particular gifts to people who already know where you live? Ie real life friends?

This is why I disabled my username being shown on my (accepted) nominations and photo submissions. Most of my submissions are near my home or work area.

No. It is just the same simple place holder photo for all.

Am I missing something here? All the gift name tells folks is that you spun a pokestop at that corner. It names the location. It’s not saying you live there. Every other pokestop in game also has a name. It’s not an intersection name, but does give an exact location. IMO, my bigger concern wou…
