This week on the Wayspotters Podcast, Chris and Jamal dive into one of the biggest updates in recent Wayfarer history: Web Submissions v1 is officially live! The guys break down what’s new, how it changes the nomination flow, and why the community is buzzing — from multi-photo support to new radius warnings to the debate around whether in-voting nominations should appear on the map.

They then tackle the big-picture question: Are we ready for a global flood of new submitters? With the door now cracked open for future cross-game participation, they explore the good (more diverse Wayspots, rural growth), the bad (queue spikes, casual chaos), and the spicy (abuse risks, PRP issues, gym manipulation attempts).

Packed with insights, laughs, and classic Jamal-and-Chris energy, Episode 201 is a must-listen for Wayfinders everywhere.

Here’s What We’re Talking About:

Wayfarer Web Submission v1 overview and first impressions
What’s new: multi-photo support, radius warnings, optional categories, improved duplicate map
Community reactions and ambassador insights
Should in-voting nominations appear on the map?
The potential global flood of new submitters
Pros: diversity, rural growth, more eligible discoveries
Cons: queue spikes, casual chaos, remote abuse concerns
“The Spicy”: PRP issues, fake Wayspots, location manipulation, gym-creation attempts
What Niantic must get right before expansion: onboarding, automated rejection, better pin tools, education

Stick around for:

✅ Spatial / Scopely News

✅ The debate no one asked for

✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week

✅ Dad Jokes (of course!)
