Wayspot got added to incorrect area

Sorry if this is submitted in the wrong area, wasnt sure where to submit this. I submitted a gym as a wayspot which got accepted after an appeal but it got added in the game to the wrong location. It never appeared in game but I saw on the wayfarer map that it exists but in the wrong location. I cant report it since its not visible in game but would it be possible for it to be moved to the other side of the building? The location is visible on google street view.

  • Wayspot Title: Chicago Strength Gym
  • Location (lat/lon): 41.901166,-87.643254
  • City: Chicago
  • Country: United States
  • Additional Information (if any):

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Looking at the map, the new Wayspot was somehow placed at the location of a pet store. Interestingly, the Google Maps POI is also located there for some reason, which might be why this incorrect placement happened. Since the actual entrance to the gym is at “41.901355,-87.643627”, I completely agree that it should be moved to that location.

You can request location corrections for any wayspot through help chat. Go to the help menu on the website https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help and a text box will pop up in the bottom right corner.


This looks like a case of where the appeals team moved the pin to the Google Label but the correct location for the pin is clear on street view. I have had that happen to me.

Often when you post something like this here, the team will take care of it from the post, but I am letting you know how you can do this for future reference.

Thanks for the appeal, @flatts! We have taken another look, and we have already moved the Wayspot to the correct location.
