Removal of 3 POIs in a short period of time

Hello All!

Some time ago, 3 POIs disappeared in one area. They reflect objects that exist in reality. These include 2 playgrounds and a mural on the wall of a building. I’m not sure, but someone seems to be purposely reporting things in the area for removal and taking the opportunity that something is not visible on outdated google maps. Fortunately these objects are over a year old and are visible on government maps made last year. Of course this applies to the 2 playgrounds, in the case of the mural unfortunately this map only confirms the existence of the building. However, I hope this is enough.



  • Wayspot Title: Jaskółka na bloku
  • Location (lat/lon): 50.065144 , 22.007788
  • Country: Poland
  • Additional Information (if any): Over 1 year in the game

Government map Geoportal

If necessary, I will provide more up-to-date photos of POIs where you can see the buildings with their addresses written on them in the background. Such places are hard to add to the game, but easily removed by the fact that the game uses google maps without the support of e.g. OSM. Despite having plenty of photos from different perspectives

Please re-verify the removal and positively consider the request to restore the POI to the game. Please also check if there are more mass requests for POI removal for this area and consider them carefully.

Best Regards,

Another POI has disappeared (Gym in Pokemon Go) right next to these 3. Should I start a new topic or can I continue here?

Dear niantic,

Someone must be abusing the system. These 2 pokestops were removed again. And during lurs, which is why I lost them.

In addition, another POI nearby was removed. A beach volleyball court that has been in a new location for about a year. It is visible just like other POIs on the government geoportal map, which has photos from last year, and not, like Google, the last ones from a few years ago.
