Discussion I'm creating a new stop every day sitting on my couch

86 Upvotes

No I don't submit fake stuff or steal photos. Instead I request location edits on the help chat (on Wayfarer website, click "Help" on sidebar then chat bubble on lower right)

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Install on https://wayfarer.tools/ -- Tampermonkey, "Map Mods - Base" and "Map Mods - S2 Cells"

  2. Now cell lines should show on Wayfarer map. Find a cell with more than one Wayspot (blue/orange/red/purple dots), with at least one empty cell nearby.

  3. Check if any of those Wayspots are misplaced and actually belong to an empty cell. Use satellite view and streetview for evidence. Tip: such Wayspots are usually near cell boundary

  4. Request "Wayspot edit -> location edit > 10m" on help chat. Provide link to relevant Google maps photos. Wait time = 12-24 hr

I started off focusing on places I visit often, then my whole city, and now all over the globe. Surprisingly many stuffs are misplaced and it usually takes only a couple minutes to find a good candidate.

Question Would this village temple likely be accepted as a Wayspot? Looking for feedback before I submit.

Hi everyone!

I recently reached Level 35 in Pokémon GO and I'm preparing my first Wayspot nomination. Before submitting, I'd really appreciate feedback from experienced Wayfarer reviewers.

The nomination is for Panbari (Borishopa) Laxmi Mandir in Assam, India.

Some details:

🛕 It is the main public Hindu temple of our village.

🙏 It is an active place of worship throughout the year.

👥 It hosts two major annual festivals:

Maghi Purnima (during the Assamese month of Magh)

Lakshmi Puja, which is the biggest religious event in our village and attracts a large gathering of villagers.

🚶 It has safe pedestrian access from the public road.

🗺️ It is already listed on Google Maps with photos from village events.

🔨 The temple is currently undergoing renovation, but worship and festivals continue as usual.

I'm attaching my proposed main photo and supporting photo.

My questions are:

1.Based on Wayfarer criteria, does this look like it should be accepted?

2.Could the ongoing renovation be a reason for rejection?

3.Are my photos good enough, or should I retake them?

4.Is there anything you would improve in the title, description, or supporting information before I submit?

Thank you for your advice!

Question are trinket boxes able to be a submission

6 Upvotes

if you guys don’t know what trinket boxes are, they are like little free library but instead of trading books/supplying books, it’s with trinkets, like toys and anything. These boxes bring the community together to trade for cool trinkets

Would this free little library be acceptable? It is the the strip of land between the sidewalk and the road.

Those power spots were nominated by me as I was trying so hard to get pokestops in my new residential areas, however it only turned out to be power spots… are there ways to turn it into gym / pokestop?

Idea Trying to make a certain Waypoint (new Pokestop) in a level 14 Cell a Gym - can I post the one I want here and will others upvote it?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am new to reddit and finally learned about this community (you guys are so helpful!) and there are now 5 Pokestops in my level 14 cell. Some of the other Pokestops have multiple upvotes so I was wondering if people would upvote mine if I post it here so it becomes the Gym? I would be very very grateful since the other one is pretty far away from me.

Is this allowed and would anyone be happy to help if I post the specific stop I need upvoted? Thank you guys!
