Questionable support decision

So the edge is fine since that isn’t necessarily the point of approach. But what about the edit of correct location to a “more” correct location. Since that says there is an ideal position, the entrance. What do you consider moving a valid pin, at the edge, to an ideal position: the entrance?

That’s a subjective term and I’m unable to provide a blanket statement. If you’re unsure of any edit, please reach out to support and they will do the needful if needed.

I guess we have the judgement. An edit of a correct spot to a “more” correct spot should be taken up with support.
A tad unsatisfactory since we have to go through support, but at least now we have a clear process on how to go about it.

Make sure you use the bookmark feature for future reference.

I think that you may be the only one to infer your “judgement” from what was said above.

Most would take this as…

A building: The Entrance is the natural point of approach.
Sports field (fenced): A gate is the natural point of approach.
Sports field (not fenced): Probably several natural points of approach. Therefore place near the edge.

Seems quite simple to me.

You have made a wrong inference on that post, the judgment I was referring to was about how one would proceed with a correct location to a more correct location edit. As stated it should be taken up with support.

But as you where continuing to state what you see as a “more correct” location then this is what I was commenting on and it is quite obvious this is what I was discussing.

As we are again moving from the OP, this will be my final comment.

I did not have any specific correct locations in mind actually. The “move a correct location to a more correct location” edit is an issue highly contested here. That was what I was referring to and trying to clarify and discuss this whole time. I thought that it was obvious. But perhaps not, I am happy to have cleared that up. I know you won’t reply anymore but I hope you see this clarification.

Yes revisiting that exact post is the key. Since prior to this it has been stated that the notion of moving a correct location to a “more” correction location was considered unequivocal abuse. But now we know it is an issue that should be taken to support.

Yeah that is kind of the whole point, he didn’t say anything new, yet what was previously espoused: “an edit of a correct location to a more correct location is considered abuse”, had been the common dogma. If he never said anything new, then those who were saying that were spreading misinformation this whole time.

That is what I used, but going off Aaron’s response I’m guessing the location data on the photos I took got messed up somehow. Will be going back to get some more shortly, hopefully this time the geotags work properly.

I assumed something like that, but just wanted to confirm which route and kind of evidence you used. Good luck!

Many thanks for the response! Not sure what happened with the photos I’d submitted in support chat, so I went ahead and took some more with a different device. Hopefully the location tags worked this time :sweat_smile: I’ll also include a bit more supporting evidence as I like to be thorough.


Streetview image of the location prior to the renovation. The waypoint is right where the door was in this image.

The same location from a similar angle, taken today. The sign hasn’t moved and can be used as a reference point.

A closer look at the area, showing the emergency exit only label on the right side door.

Slightly different angle, showing that both doors in this area are now emergency exits.

Looking East (opposite direction of the previous photo,) showing that there are no other doors around this spot. The old entrance would have been roughly where the windows are to the right of the door.

The Southwest corner of the building, where one of the new entry points is. The sign from previous photos is visible on the right. You can also see a newer sign spelling out “library” in front of the building.

A closer look at the doors. The single door on the right is another emergency exit, the double doors on the left are the entrance.

Even closer look at the doors to make the text on them easily visible. Note the maximum occupancy listed on the entrance doors.

The Southwest corner of the building from a different angle (looking Southeast.) Here you can see that the area near the entrance has been set up to encourage people to gather in larger groups.

Different angle of the same area.

Since I’m not entirely sure if the map links I provided in support chat worked as intended, I’ll also include coordinates here.
Waypoint’s current coordinates: 32.914517, -96.638398
Suggested new location: 32.914585, -96.638715

Hoping that’s enough to prove the location of the new entrance at the Southwest corner of the building. The waypoint’s old location may still be accurate, but it doesn’t reflect the library as well anymore compared to this new entrance.

We have made necessary adjustments to the Wayspot. You should see the changes reflected soon.
