I am requesting a location revert for “Parque Urbanización Cajamarca”.
The edit was accidental and I could not cancel it because it was already in voting.
Before the edit, it worked correctly in Pokémon GO. After the change, it disappeared.
It has now been almost 2 months without any solution or proper response, which is very frustrating.
I would really appreciate a proper follow-up on this case.
Please review this case.
Found the coordinates: -7.159856,-78.510380
I don’t see any reason this would not be a live Pokestop. There was an issue with edits not syncing recently and NianticAaron may have to do something here.Parque urbanización cajamarca
NVM, I had the wrong Wayspot with the same title.
I’ll move this over to Bug Reports & Technical Support
The map says it’s a pokestop - can you confirm it does not actually appear in game?
It would also be good if you could please supply another photo as the one that is on the wayspot has a watermark and shouldn’t have been approved.
Thank you for checking.
Yes, before the edit it was working correctly in Pokémon GO.
After the location change, it stopped appearing, so it might be related to the sync issue you mentioned.
I appreciate you tagging NianticAaron, I hope this case can be reviewed.
Thank you.
The Wayspot that is not appearing is located at:
-7.158896, -78.510568
Before the edit, it was in a nearby position where it worked correctly in Pokémon GO.
Could the location change have moved it into an occupied cell?
Wayfarer map is often a day or two behind the in game status, so while it’s showing in Wayfarer, the in game status might be different. (I recently did a location edit into a different cell, and the occupied cell overlay in Wayfarer Tools didn’t update itself until the next day).
EDIT : second paragraph invalid due to edits to other comments.
Ah how confusing to have two same named wayspots close by.
I think it is now in the same cell as the pokestop Pileta ornamental which is right on the imaginary xp cell line - very hard to see. But if that is the case it won’t appear.
But since it is close do submit a fresh photo at the other one.
Hi
It might have been moved into an occupied cell, but since it has been almost 2 months, I don’t think this is a sync delay issue.
Before the edit, it was working correctly in Pokémon GO, so the problem started only after the location change.
Sometimes when moved to an occupied cell the expected recalculation to ensure 1 wayspot doesn’t happen. However if there is anything else done to either stop it might trigger the recalculation at that point.
oh my mistake, sorry. I don’t think I can undo a tag but will remove the @ sign and see.
The current location of this Parque Urbanización Cajamarca is in the same L17 S2 cell as an existing Pokestop, Pileta ornamental so is not eligible to be one.
Moving Wayspots around to manipulate the game is considered abuse. The current pin looks like an accurate representation of the park to me. I would not recommend trying to move this again without a really good reason based on the physical location, and not gameplay or cells.
The photos all appear to have been taken from that corner that is in the empty cell. Was that just strategic, or is that the park entrance? Why was the location edit done?
If current location is correct, there is nothing you can do. Attempting to wayspot away from correct location in order to make it appear is subject to abuse ladder system.
Hi
I understand that the Wayspot should remain in an accurate location.
However, the previous location was also correct and actually represented the park better (closer to the main entrance/feature).
After the edit, the new position is less representative and the PokéStop disappeared in Pokémon GO.
I am only looking for a correction so that the Wayspot is both accurate and functional again.
That could make sense, since the issue started right after the location edit.
At the moment, no further changes have been made, and the Wayspot still does not appear in Pokémon GO.
Before the edit, it was visible and fully functional, so it seems related to the recalculation you mentioned.
Yes, it seems possible that it is now in the same cell as the PokéStop “Pileta ornamental”, which could explain why it is not appearing.
However, I would prefer not to submit a new photo to another Wayspot, as I want to keep everything accurate and avoid any confusion.
Before the edit, the Wayspot was correctly placed and fully functional in Pokémon GO.
I am just looking for a proper correction of this situation.
I understand that moving a Wayspot away from its correct location would not be appropriate.
However, the previous location was also accurate and represented the park better. The change was accidental, and after it was approved the PokéStop stopped appearing in Pokémon GO.
I am not trying to move it for advantage, only to correct the situation so that the Wayspot is both accurate and functional again.
Yes, it is possible that the location edit moved it into an occupied cell, which would explain why it is not appearing.
However, since it has been almost 2 months, it does not seem to be a delay between Wayfarer and the game.
Before the edit, it was in a different position where it was visible and fully functional in Pokémon GO.
The location edit was not made to manipulate the game. It was an honest mistake. When I realized it, the edit was already in voting and I could not cancel it.
The previous location was also accurate and represented the park well. The photos were taken from that corner because it is one of the accessible and visible parts of the park, not for strategic reasons.
Before the edit, the PokéStop was visible and fully functional in Pokémon GO. After the change, it stopped appearing, which is why I am trying to find a proper solution.
I understand the importance of keeping locations accurate, and I am only looking to correct the situation.
To clarify the situation, I am attaching some screenshots:
One showing the PokéStop before the location edit, when it was visible and fully functional in Pokémon GO.
One showing the current situation, where it no longer appears in-game.
One showing that the location edit was approved.
I want to clarify that the edit was an honest mistake. When I realized it, it was already in voting and I could not cancel it.
This was not an attempt to manipulate the system, but an unintended change that caused the PokéStop to disappear.
The edit would not have been approved, unless they felt that the new location was better than the old one. I have had location edits denied for precisely the reason that the new location, while accurate, was not better.
My earlier comment about Wayfarer is probably not applicable in light of other user’s edits. But my point was that, during the first day or two after the edit, Wayfarer map might have SAID that it was still active, but was wrong, because of the delay between in game and Wayfarer updates.
How did you accidentally submit a location edit? I cannot understand how a location edit request could be made by mistake.
My point about manipulating the game is that you moved the Wayspot, and now you want it put back where it was for game reasons.
I asked if there is a real world issue with the physical location that would make the original pin a better and more accurate place for the pin. That is what you would need to explain to Niantic staff in order to get the pin returned. They will not do it just to make it a Pokestop again.
