[image] Wayfarer Roadmap 2025-2026 News & Announcements Hello Wayfinders, We’re incredibly excited to share our new Wayfarer Roadmap for 2025-2026. This roadmap is a testament to our commitment to a more rewarding Wayfarer experience for all current and upcomi…

Well, I’d bet you my Pokemon card collection they’re not about to raise the cap so fewer people can nominate waypoints.

That doesn’t make sense, since they lowered eligibility requirements earlier this year, and seem to be looking at doing it again to get more involved.

Great news, and thanks for the quick reply! I will happily wait knowing they are still planned for a now unknown date. You’re the best @NianticTintino :heart:

I’m just suggesting that onboarding be made more accessible and deeper, so that newly eligible to nominate wayfarers have a higher chance of nomming something that a.) is eligible to become a wayspot and b.) won’t result in a where’s-my-pokestop po…

This has been discussed many times in the past, so it’s nothing new. I’m sure it’s something that will be looked into. Many of us noticed nominations for ineligible POIs after the lowering to lvl 35 this year, and many wanted to see more education for new users.
