Hello! I work at the St Augustine Lighthouse in St Augustine, Florida. I recently requested that 2 of our pokestops be relocated to represent there true locations. One request was recently denied so I assume the other will be too. Is there anyway to get assistance in relocating those two stops? One stop is a playground but the icon appears in our parking lot. The second is the coast guard barracks, but the location of the actual stop is a completely different building. Any assistance would be appreciated as a trainer and representative of our non-profit museum.
What method did you use to request these location edits?
Hello and welcome @McAwesomsauce
It’s not obvious where is best to post when you are new to the forum and this is a specialist area.
I am going to move your query to the general area.
you can request location edits using the wayfarer page help chat
You can provide the new co ordinates plus photo evidence to help locate it correctly. They are quite quick too.
Thank you so much! I am still pretty new, this is my first forum discussion. I appreciate your assistance!!!
I used the “in game” method at the pokestop
You can appeal the decision in your contribution management tab, but the best method is the way that Eli outlined. Just know that depending on your browser settings the chat can reset, but if it does it wont impact the action taken (unless they request more details and you dont see that).
There is actually a limit in the distance that one can move a Wayspot in-game. If the move is 10m or more, you will want to use the help chat method. Another issue with some location requests is that additional info may be needed, like a geotagged photo, and you can provide these via help chat.
Thank you for the tips. I will get the gps coordinates and follow up! ![]()

Make sure to get your coordinate bullet proof. Help chat will have his/her own judgement about placement depending on your evidence
Thank you, I’ll ask our archaeology department for help. They have very accurate and reliably calibrated GPS equipment ![]()
I assume those light house are visible from satelite but if its not, you can use “GPS Map Camera” apps or similar apps where it will show gps in the photo.
It is and pretty easy to find too ![]()
So update
ya! The barracks sign was relocated! And is in the perfect position!! Love! Love! Love! I am going to get the coordinates for the memorial bell and the shipyard playground, however we are getting ready to get all new signage throughout the whole grounds, so I am going to hold off on any new requests until the new signs are installed. I am sure many current signs will be removed. Thanks again for everyone’s input! ![]()
Thanks for update.
That is sensible to wait until you have a clear picture of where the new signs are. Nice new signs should look good.
Good luck
