In terms of the user observed use of S2 cells, there is no difference between submitting in Pokemon Go and doing it via websubmit. You see the same information in a different appearance. It doesnt say they are being used elsewhere just that these exist. With Websubmit there are user created plug in…

well that’s one way to inform people. many casual players don’t even realize these third-party tools are out there. Submitters shouldn’t have to reply on browser extensions just to figure out why their accepted nominations aren’t showing up on their map

Your argument seems to be coming from both sides. You say “Submitters shouldn’t have to reply on browser extensions just to figure out why their accepted nominations aren’t showing up on their map” but seem to be wanting to keep the In Game option that doesn’t answer this either…

I just don’t like the change. I liked doing it through the pokemon go app because it’s convenient. I don’t want to have to switch from the game to the browser constantly to add stops. Honestly, i was planning on mapping a local hiking park that is over 100 acres of signs, trail markers, footbridges,…

I also do hiking trails and state parks. I was in a low signal area this weekend and I was unable to submit in the game. I simply took my pictures and continued. When I got to an area with signal, I extracted the GPS coordinates from the picture and did my draft. The rest I did at home.
