The Wayfarer Map is HERE!

Very happy to finally have a map…but can the zoom levels be tweaked? Seems like I can’t get stops/gyms/powerspots to display unless it’s very zoomed in, so there’s a lot of panning and zooming in and out required to see what’s really not that large of an area.

Great question! We’re looking into this already and was also suggested by the Ambassadors so it’s in the works :slight_smile:

Nice! Really lovely implementation, this is very helpful.

A few pointers though:

  1. So far I only see things that are in Pokémon GO. No Wayspots not in the game appear yet - but I suppose that’s just an early error.

  2. Same for Power Spots - I cannot see any Power Spots, neither active nor inactive, only Wayspots that are also Pokéstops and Gyms.

  3. I find that I have to zoom in pretty far to see Wayspots - at the level where the width of my screen corresponds to slightly less than a kilometer, I am zoomed too far out. I have to go to the zoom level where it corresponds to around 0.45 - 0.5 kilometers; I would appreciate being able to see stuff zoomed out even more, even if that means clustering Wayspots at the higher zoom levels.

  4. It is so nice to have a proper way to make reports for locations from afar. However, currently the feature does not allow you to include pictures, only text, which does seem like a problem. Being able to include a picture when reporting something like a missing Wayspot definitely makes it easier :-)!

Have you tried selecting these options?

This at least shows me the imports that haven’t/have become Power Spots

Gave it a try, my one complaint, which is minor, but also probably the most important thing, the zoom level to have things show up is …. Really bad. Like, really bad. Im not saying I should see everything zoomed miles out, but im about 100m away from where a pokestop, and I cant zoom out enough to see it on the map because if I zoom out enough to see the location, im.to far for the map to load it lol

Edit: Just seen thats the very first comment lol, should have probably read the other comments to see what people were saying lol

I would like the inclusion of some sort of selectable filter that only shows the things I’ve submitted. Since we have to log into our Wayfarer account to see the map anyway, that sounds like something that should be possible to implement. I’d like to see what my personal impact on the game has been.

Hi @JakobHelms,

Thanks and happy you’re enjoying it.

  1. To see ALL wayspots, you can filter between them here by selecting All Sources. Hope this helps.
  2. Similar, just select the filtering button
  3. In the works :slight_smile:
  4. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll share that with the team

I’m out of reports now :laughing:

I feel it will be a busy time for the team looking through them. My sincerest apologies for the extra workload

Hi! So glad to have progress on the map! This is a great start, and I’m excited to use that report tool! It should make things so much easier. :slight_smile:

As others have said, it would be helpful to have a zoom level more comparable to what IITC had. As it stands, you can only see a very small area, so it makes it hard to get the sense of the bigger picture. When I’m trying to plan out adding to an area, a bigger picture view is very helpful!

I also hope remote edits are coming down the line soon. Reporting is great, but I’d also love to be able to remove those pesky “pokemon” references I see sneaking into live wayspots. Or to fix spelling errors.

Glad to see an AMA answer coming to life, and looking forward to more!

Will there be any chance we can see an S2 & S17 cell layover instead of having to rely on 3rd party tools?

Do not worry about repeating comments. The more people who list an issue, the more the team will understand how important it is to the Wayfinders!

I’m very happy, but I think the display area of the Wayspots is a bit small. And I would like to see images of the Wayspots on the pins themselves, and not just when opening.
