Why is the wrong country set from start - home location reset request

Hi, im new here as you might have guessed already:)

When i was going to enter where i live, wayfarer had entered that i live in leningrad, russia, but i dont live in that country. It says that i cant change this, but there must be a way to do so?
I have not entered this information and it feels wrong that i should judge waypoints in a nother part of the world…

I could set the secondary place to were i want so i put that one to the cuntry/town were i do live..
But i would rather have the right country/town entered were it should be…

Maybe you were using VPN at that time?

Maybe reaching out via Wayfare Support through Help menu will be ideal.

Hello and welcome @Jo82ry

I presume you are referring to your home location. I will move this to the technical support area the wayfarer team will sometimes as a goodwill gesture reset the home location for you .

The are different areas that feed your review flow.
Play location : this uses your current play location, therefore highly changeable if you move around a lot.
Bonus location: you determine where this and this can be reset approx 4 times a year. Can be anywhere you would like to get from.
Home location: it does not need to somewhere you live. Think of it like a second bonus location but this is set once only so choose carefully.

The actual area that each covers is determined by S2 cells - the one the location is in plus 8 around it. They cover large areas.

Finally for upgraded / priority submissions it can be anywhere in your country.

Consider if you want the areas to overlap or spread out?

I have reset your Hometown. You should now be able to set it to a location of your choice.

Happy Exploring!
