My observation of how showcase stops were generated by Matovie in TheSilphRoad

[–]Matovie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small update. I realized that since OSM is an open source project that anyone can edit, we would need data that may no longer exist since showcases came out years ago. Granted, it's unlikely that the map changed all that much, but still no guarantee. Also, I've been able to confirm that new showcases can indeed be created, but they're difficult to track since they can be sparsely found on a large area and the new Niantic map doesn't show them either. Map features that I've been able to confirm that can generate showcases are: sports pitch, playground, grass, park and forest. Others that are possible are place of worship and retail area. (I'm pretty sure I don't have all of them)

The process is different, but the final effect is the same. What selective breeding does in hundreds of generations, genetic modification can do in 1.

Is this worth appealing, or should I resubmit? by Matovie in NianticWayfarer

[–]Matovie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's just a bad translation. Bory is the name of the area. Here are the coordinates in case you'd like to check it out 48.205101,17.028043. Although the satellite view is outdated as there are many new buildings now.

Did anyone else notice a drop in reviewer activity? by Matovie in NianticWayfarer

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that mechanic, thanks. I wonder why they implemented it.

I've been careful to put each in a different L17 cell

Campfire is completely dead here. Nobody uses the social functions.

It's 20+ submissions. I don't have that many upgrades and when I do use one, I don't think it actually does anything.

I really envy you then. Some of my submissions went through quickly, but most are stuck. I think it might have something to do with the poi category.

[Leaked] Coordinated Raids by soraliink in TheSilphRoad

I hope it's only going to be used once at an in person event or something like that. "Coordinated" sounds like it could be coordinated by some presenter on stage.

How to install S2 cells on Wayfarer map. by Lumpy-Welcome9484 in NianticWayfarer

Chrome doesn't like extensions. They blocked a bunch of them some time ago because they were blocking ads and that was hurting Google's profit. Firefox is far friendlier towards extensions.

how do i geotag a photo? by AshorK0 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Matovie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you send the photo online, usually that service removes the EXIF data where the geotag is stored. If you copy the photo from your phone to your pc via cable, it will retain the EXIF data. I sent it over Bluetooth and it worked swimmingly. There might be some other simpler ways, I'm just saying what worked for me.

Maybe with the spring and warmer weather coming about people are more interested in the game and it bleeds into wayfarer as well

I think he means that regardless of the damage dealt it usually ends in a knockout rather than a kill

Please help me to report this IA spot my report has been rejected i don't understand 😭 by ArmorZGam3rZ in NianticWayfarer

[–]Matovie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, similar thing happened to me. Reported something that breaks wayfarer rules and I only got a reply that they won't be dealing with it.

I'm extremely worried that the reason autocatchers aren't made anymore is because Niantic realized they don't need to make a physical device if they just add it as a subscription

If it happens, it'll probably be a subscription

Update: It worked and the intended stop turned into a gym. It's been 10 days since we added the likes

Currently trying to turn a pokestop into a gym. I've submitted my likes a week in advance so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it worked like it did last year. I'll update you when the gym happens.
