ex raid gym eligability
so there are a couple of gyms which our local group of pogo nerds are debating the eligibility of (for ex raids). The issue is that both gyms occur inside appropriately time stamped OSM markings (as per the pre-built query by Tntnnbltn) but the ingame map shows no color for one gym and the other gym it on the edge.
So was wondering if anyone outside had any advice, people are kind of to the point were they are just sticking to their guns.

There is a botanic gardens I play at some that is just like this — OSM markings indicate it is eligible but even since the map update in PoGO it is no longer dark green.
There has been at least two ex raids there since December (and it is still a nest), so map color does not seem to be determinative. I wrote to Niantic, but they just gave me a generic response.
Of course, I have 0 passes.
was just talking to someone that plays in the town an hour north of here that got an ex raid on light green. Turned out that it was marked as 'pitch' in OSM as is the first example I gave so think it's a goer.
the second one i think is only off the green by an artifact of the way roads are marked. so am now inclined to think both are ok to try and trigger if i can encourage numbers to them.
the second one in particular is important because it would be the only viable gym in it's entire s2 cell.
