Niantic has even put out a YouTube video which aims to break down the finer details.<br \/>\nNiantic Wayfarer isn&#8217;t just for Pok\u00e9Stops either. It&#8217;s for places called Niantic Wayspots which are essentially for\u00a0any Niantic AR game. Such as Ingress or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.<br \/>\nNiantic Wayfarer lets you give input on new Pok\u00e9Stop locations<br \/>\nThis new system is an attempt at putting more control into the hands of the players. As community-based as games like Pok\u00e9mon GO are, this system will be a good way for players to have a hand in where Pok\u00e9Stops end up.<br \/>\nThat being said, the system won&#8217;t let just anyone create a new wayspot. Wayfarer also requires Niantic Help to approve anyone who wants to use it.<br \/>\nApproved players end up labeled as &#8222;wayfinders&#8221; and can then assist in Pok\u00e9Stop creations. The role of a Wayfarer is basically to overview submitted stop requests, and help Niantic choose ones that are deemed a good fit.<br \/>\nAny input from a Wayfarer has a direct impact on newly chosen stops too, so players really can help shape the overall game. Wayfinders can nominate new wayspots in addition to reviewing other player submissions too.<br \/>\nWayspots must be safely accessible by everyone<br \/>\nNiantic lays out some clear rules to what can be a Wayspot and what can&#8217;t. This includes private property, meaning you can&#8217;t submit your backyard as a Wayspot.<br \/>\nWayfinders will also need to review a list of different things, beginning with the location itself. The Wayfarer platform lets wayfinders rate the location with a star system from one to five, which helps Niantic determine how good or how bad the spot may be.<br \/>\nAfter the star rating, wayfinders will also need to rate the name and description of the location that has been submitted. This uses a star rating as well. After this step, wayfinders will need to look over whether or not the spot is a duplicate and where it is on the map.<br \/>\nThe review system overall actually has a pretty robust list of details wayfinders need to go over. This includes the things listed above as well as if a stop is unsafe and what category stops should be lumped into. Location accuracy is taken into account as well.<br \/>\nUsers interested in becoming a wayfinder can do from Niantic Wayfarer&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n<p>The post Niantic Wayfarer Is A Player-Controlled Pok\u00e9Stop Creator appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Niantic-Wayfarer-600x336.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"336\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Niantic is launching a new player-controlled Pok\u00e9Stop creator called Niantic Wayfarer.
