Niantic seems to have lost the plot entirely

This Mural was painted over sometime between May 2022 and Oct 2022


No. It’s just a bad translation. The original Dutch version of that page says “sinds een aantal maanden”, which accurately translates into “since a few months ago” or “for a few months now”. The writer means that those works have been around for a few months at the time of writing, and doesn’t mention anything about them ever being removed.

No, I’m pretty sure that’s the wayspot in question. The Ingress sync just hasn’t happened yet, which is why it’s still showing up. The Pokestop is gone already.


Hmm, I can definitely still make out a structure on the satellite view that definitely looks like a skate ramp.

The satellite view is not current… you can see in street view when it disappears.

Nope. Different coords, different titles, different photos.

Got another one from today’s batch.


Part of the series of artworks mentioned in this article:

Today was a busy day, it seems.




Got some more painted power boxes to add to the list.










And they really seemed to go all-out on the local dog parks today.

Let me explain why all these dog parks are perfectly eligible:

Dog parks encourage exercising with your dog and socializing with other dog owners. That’s two out of three of the big criteria.

“But oh, they’re all mass-produced signs!” I hear you think. That is also perfectly acceptable. Let me point you to this bit of text from the acceptance criteria:

Objects that placemark areas are encouraged. These signs all placemark unique dog parks. These should not be judged based on the signs, but what the signs represent. Since I can’t exactly go around submitting pictures of grassy fields, these signs are by far the best way to represent these dog parks in the wayspot database.

And besides, if mass-produced trail markers can be used to placemark unique stretches of trail, then these mass-produced dog park signs can be used to placemark unique dog parks.


And then there’s this scenic lookout point in a nature park.


And a small local hotspot restaurant.

Add them to the list, @NianticAaron

So are these going to be addressed at some point? It’s been a month. I’d start resubmitting them but then I’d also have to recreate all the routes attached to them, so I’d rather Niantic just puts them back.

Back from my month-long vacation and I see these still haven’t been addressed.
