Recent Trail Markers for hiking trail removed

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Routebordje Loop- en wandelroute Maaspoort, recht zo die gaat!

  • Location (lat/lon): 51°43’44.7"N 5°18’42.6"E

  • City: 's-Hertogenbosch

  • Country: Netherlands

  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): No screenshot available, as there is no email on removal.

  • Additional Information (if any):
    Recently I found out that there is an official hiking trail in my neighbourhood. This trail is a little bit over 5 kilometers and is called ‘Loop- en wandelroute Maaspoort’. The trail has trail markers, as shown in the above image. Looking up the criteria for trails and markers, I would say these would fall under the following category:
    :+1: Although the sign looks mass produced and the trail is beside a street, it has a trail name, logo, and directions at a decision point.
    I submitted five of these markers, to start with. In the end, four out of five were approved, after some appeals.
    The fifth wayspot was rejected, no appeals left. The reviewer feels these markers are not permanent. The Wayspots were active for about two or three days. Now out of the four approved, three all already removed.
    Can someone please clarify why they were removed (after someone apparently requested it?)?
    And can these be restored?
    If needed, I can share the details on the other waypoints as well.
    According to the criteria for trails and markers, I believe they should be eligible.
    Would be great to have all the markers as waypoint and to set up the full trail as a route.

The route is indexed here and goes past the point you posted. I don’t see a reason these should have been removed

That’s such a shame - this route sounds to me like a great place to exercise, and as per wooperlooper’s post its clearly an official trail that goes through this area… hopefully the staff can help you

Thank you very much!

Could you please have a look at these two as well?




Is the removal request now also being looked into? I guess they could be requested to be removed again soon after again.

Both these Wayspots are live.
