Hi, i had a Pokestop close to my home for 3 years, but today it just disappeared out of nowhere. Location: 47.5384754, 19.0925656 ; name of the pokestop: Ping-pong asztal.
Could someone check it for me if its still in the game?
Thank u in advance.
Welcome to the forum. It looks like this Wayspot may have had a location correction, because it is now at 47.538299,19.092436. This L17 S2 cell is already occupied by a Pokestop, so this one is no longer eligible to be one.
The red pin indicates the gps coordinates you gave, and the pink circled wayspot shows where it is now.
(I know the forum prompt tells you to look for a similar issue before you post, but it is generally better to start a new topic for a question on something specific like this.)
So ‘‘basically’’ i just lost one pokestop? Is it possible to change into a Gym? Or every cell you just mentioned has to contain only one pokestop.
With exceptions for sponsored locations and some other unusual situations, you can only have one pokestop per L17 S2 cell. That is the size I have filled in with purple shading. You can only create 3 gyms per the larger L14 S2 cell, and this L14 already has 3 gyms. They are all at the opposite end of this cell. I sorted on just gyms to make it clearer.
Whenever I tell someone about S2 cells, I always caution that you should only use this knowledge for where to look for points of interest, because pinning something that isn’t there into a cell because it is empty is abuse.
If you want to look for something else to submit, the northeast side of that courtyard is in an empty cell. Satellite view is not clear enough to tell me if there is something here or not, but you could look.
Lovag kert 47.538646,19.092636 is a Pokestop in the cell where you said the ping pong table used to be. I assumed that replaced the moved one, so you didn’t really lose a stop. Was it already a stop before this?
Yeah, Lovag kert has been there. But today a stop named ‘‘Dodó kacsa falfirka’’ just popped up, near to the ‘Ping-pong asztal’ stop, which replaced it i suppose.
That one is in a different L17 than I was looking at first, but that is probably where the ping pong table had actually been. (Cute street art!)
I just realized these are old enough to be from before the split with Ingress and checked that map. The portal for the ping pong table is at 47.538646,19.092636 in that game, which would be this cell.
Hi,
I am going to split this so you can have a topic on your own.
I saw this, too, but left it for the OP to say that the current location in game is wrong, and they did not. It seems feasible that this ping pong table has been relocated.
@AdasiX if the new location is inaccurate, you could try to appeal the move, you will need evidence for the correct location.
But the location where it appears to exist on the street view would still be in an occupied cell, so the pokestop would not come back. As I said earlier there may be something in the north east section of that courtyard to submit. I did not want to suggest what, since it appears that points of interest may have been moved around.
But if something happens to the current live wayspot, having it at the correct spot would mean it could reappear.
I never advise people to move things around on the game board unless THEY bring up that it is mislocated in real life. This gets a lot of people in trouble. Everything you have said is accurate. I am just concerned about the consequences of jerking wayspots around.
If they are going to investigate correcting wayspots to their actual physical locations, I would start with these.
I can’t make Szent László hinta and Sakk asztal reconcile with what I am seeing on Street View.
I am not sure what your point is with the screenshot. I can see where the table is on Street View. That does not mean it is there now. I am not staff to make a decision or a correction.
If you want to make a location correction, that can be done through help chat with evidence. Access help chat through the help menu on the wayfarer site at https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help. A chat box will come up in the lower right. When you tap on it you can choose Wayfarer Edits for location corrections.
Since the current location has just recently been adjusted to where the table is currently located in the game, I feel certain they will need location tagged photos or other convincing evidence to move the Wayspot pin.
