I would like to request support with a persistent sync bug affecting a wayspot near me. The Wayspot is called “Graham Memorial Chapel” and is located at 38.648292, -90.309141. On 5/18/24, I submitted a Title Edit to change the name from “WashU Graham Chapel” to “Graham Memorial Chapel”. This Title Edit was approved by the community on 5/26/24 (see screenshot below):
Frustratingly, this Title Edit never synced with Pokemon Go. As of today (9/19/24), the in-game title still has not changed from the old name (see screenshot below):
However, the same Title Edit did sync with Ingress, which displays the updated title (see screenshot below):
Others (including myself in the past, see this thread from May 2024) have reported occasional syncing issues between Lightship and Niantic’s games. Sometimes, after days, the affected wayspots will magically sync all of a sudden. However in this case, the failure to sync has lasted almost 4 months.
I am not sure what other way to resolve this issue than to ask for help on the forum! Thank you in advance for anyone at Niantic who can look into this issue and help solve it. Issues like this are very deflating for Wayfarers like me who put in so much time and research to submit high quality edits to improve the gameboard. If Wayfarers perceive that approved edits might not ever be synced to the game maps, this majorly disincentives us from submitting edits in the future…
