[image] Upcoming Changes to Wayspot Submission News & Announcements Hello Wayfinders, We’re making some changes to the way Wayfinders submit Wayspots in Pokémon GO starting September 1, 2026. When attempting to submit Wayspots through Pokémon GO, Wayfinders an…

Good point, because you can still withdraw!

The location can also (does) move automatically when a photo is uploaded.

[image] cyndiepooh: the pin is not where they thought they put it. I thought I covered that with this comment. ty for making that clear.

I was only including that because you listed various other reasons that could cause the pin to move after you said that. Knowing how it ends it up the wrong place is important - there’s a lot of ways this can happen, but “accidently moved while scrolling” and “automatically moved from uploading pho…

I had one I stumbled upon Monday, so created the draft on the spot instead of ahead of time as I usually do, where it put the pin in the shopping center across the street from where I was. I have no idea how it decided I was there - the pictures weren’t taken there and I hadn’t driven there. I uplo…

Equally, you can create a draft from anywhere, but then have to be within 10km range if…

there is ONE BIG PROBLEM when submitting new pokestops, and you cant figure out where exactly the point of interest is, because the map shows only the “pre-defined” visualization. I always used the satellite images to point the exact spot of the point of interest but now, if you do it, for example…
