- Wayspot Title: Historic Eames House
- Location (lat/lon) 42.039147,-74.123393
- City: Woodstock
- Country: USA
- Additional Information (if any):
Recently I submitted this Wayspot / POI. It was initially rejected for “Various rejection criteria,” but on appeal, as you can see, the POI was approved and showed up on game maps. The issue is that the POI was (automatically?) relocated to an inaccurate location. Following are several maps for comparison:
1 - Screenshot from Wayfarer showing the submitted and accurate location, BUT an inaccurate address: (9 Old Beekman Ln, Woodstock, NY 12498, USA)
2- Screenshot of 9 Old Beekman Ln, Woodstock, NY 12498, USA from Google Maps; this is a private residence just north and slightly west of the Historic Eames House.
3- Screenshot of 20 Comeau Drive, Woodstock, NY 12498 from Google Maps, which is the address of the Historic Eames House. The building (which IN THIS CASE is the POI) is the home to the Historical Society of Woodstock, which uses the name of the house AS It’s address: HSW Website (scroll to the bottom to see)
4&5 - Map Screenshot(s) of the Google location of the Historical Society of Woodstock, which is a larger outdoor complex that includes the Historic Eames Building, as well as a memorial park and a secondary exhibition space. The second map shows the actual in game location / placement of the Wayspot / POI. These two locations are nearly contiguous, but neither is representative of a real world object. In fact these points are in a wooded area near an unrelated public parking lot.
It is my contention that the original submitted location of 20 Comeau Drive (42.039268178165145, -74.12405273558217) is accurate, safer, and appropriate and that this Wayspot should be relocated so as to be more easily accessible.
