I've just made a few alterations on a park near my home wich was completly blank, a legit park with a Bike Station, Gym for Seniors, Playgrounds, Bus Stations and Gardens, all legit and no fake info. Could it become a nest? What are your experiences with Open Street Maps.

Have you read this:

> I found most of my edits only had an effect on the game after two nest migrations, roughly.
> Disclaimer though: edits will only affect where and what spawns, not the number of spawns. That's defined by cell phone usage data. If there are no spawns in a given area, after the area is tagged in OSM there will continue to be no spawns there, regardless of what is tagged, since there's nothing to shuffle about the new data.

Can I draw in a lake near my apartment? I see what I think are supposed to be ponds drawn in places where none exist. Most of the area I am currently at has no roads at all on the pogo map. I have no idea how to get the stops or gyms.

What prevents me from drawing roads that twist and turn and go nowhere? What if I can’t draw straight even if I try?

Lol now players will basically turn their houses into lakes and parks. Though it would be interesting if there was a variety of POGO where you actually could build the world as you like it (except for the roads) and everyone else could see the edits without messing with actual maps that might ruin it for non-players.

If you have not noticed post on reddit is almost one year old. And it looks like everything still fine

It's not that I fear people would do this. It's that my area is still stuck in the early 2000s on OSM compared to Google Maps. I know it can be edited and I even considered it, was messing with the learning mode on OSM, but... I don't think I could do a good job at this, nor that it would take effect any time soon in-game.

Normally vandalism reverted pretty fast, it differ in different areas but there are people who review new changesets.
Of course nothing prevents you to create multiple accounts every day and constantly annoy people as nothing prevents you to annoy people by thousand other ways
