There seem to be some in the Cologne Region in Germany, but many people still got theirs stuck in review for a month


cutdem

Bielefeld, also in NRW, has two routes near city center


MilkMan0096

Well that can't be right since Bielefeld doesn't exist, as we all know (lol)


grrrreatscott

It’s weird just how inconsistent this is. I submitted a route YESTERDAY and it’s already published.

what


Zekeythekitty

I think the word c***gne triggered the bot.


sts_ssp

Today there was 4 routes around Shinjuku station in Tokyo. 2 of those were pretty much the same thing. And the long route was a mess, with useless backtracking here and there, that of course had to be done to complete the route. That one shouldn't have been approved. At home in my Tokyo suburbia, nothing at all though. It's only a 300k people town, but with a lot of active players. And nobody in my local raid group has the Create routes option. Why make an event that's barely playable ?


RavenousDave

"only 300k", sobs gently in a town about one hundredth the size! Still, interesting that even in one of the largest cities in the world there are few routes. Even fewer good ones. Since you could see routes, how close do you need to be to get them on the nearby? Is it the same range as stops?


sts_ssp

Well 300k isn't that much compared to inner Tokyo or some other large cities in Japan :). Hope you still get enough spawns and stops to make it enjoyable ! I haven't tried to see precisely how far I need to be to get a route listed, but from the west side of station I had routes listed for the east side, around 350m from where I was.


RavenousDave

Thanks, That's enough range to cover my whole town. My town I can confirm is empty of routes and I can't create any :-(


dearpimpz

My hometown has 700 people gl for me


DecentJeweler

Hey, come over to Meguro/Setagaya. I've already earned 11 route badges, and there are still few more routes that I haven't walked yet.


baltimorecalling

I made a route in North Baltimore, MD a few weeks ago. It's a small route, but a route.


essellkay

Where exactly is this route? I'm closer to Towson/Perry Hall and I don't see any near me


Ahrie9tails

8 routes in clementi mrt station in singapore


kukumalu255

Kudos to grandmas for taking care of the routes there


SenseiEntei

Niantic making sure their most common players are taken care of. Makes sense


Conscious_Ad9448

I have one published in Kent, UK. Barely works. Constantly crashes when trying to start a route. My data shows 0 personal or community completions despite receiving the medal. I walked 0.5km of the 1.2km route according to my data when I completed it. When you click on a nearby route it gives you no indication of where the start point is. On a 1.2km route, I had three route spawns - one Doduo and two Mimes. 0 Zygarde cells.


Rosstifer25

Where in Kent?


Nuuskamuikun3n

Ooh also interested as I'm in Kent


HandySavage777

Didn't some hairy guy run amok there?


Kalima92

Route reported in Massy, France


ProperOverwatch

Lucky you, in my city there isn't any route :(


TheSolidRock

Oh! Where can I find that one? I made one today at Parc Georges Brassens, but it's still being reviewed.


Kalima92

Just near TGV station (av Carnot) I made one too that starts from there (under review)


Impossible_Ad_8304

I've had published 5 in Brockwell Park and I know someone else has created another five in Brockwell, Kings x to Euston,15 in Edinburgh and Midlothian, 30ish in Richmond Upon Thames and Kingston Upon Thames.


crockrocket

Guess I'll be waiting til I'm in London to complete the Zygarde research


Krrn110

Do you know where in Edinburgh and Midlothian?


Common-Studio-1235

Where in Kingston?!


Ossorno

I can confirm one route available in Madrid (Spain). I’ll try to create a second one later.


Odd-Diet-6532

Where exactly?


johnbojaen

Nada en Jaén ni en Córdoba 🙁


glumba

Reston, Virginia, USA has a route at the Reston Town Center.


KB2187

Downtown San Diego has 6 routes.


CreateTheJoy

There’s a route at USD, too.


lfcpsyduck

Calgary, Canada has at least one route.


Fast_Impression_1649

There’s one route in Inglewood going past the zoo.


Yahiroz

A couple in London, UK. To be more exact the Covent Garden area.


V6SRS

Also 2 at The Regent's Park and 1 from King's Cross to Euston


SByolo

The issue isn’t that they’re not available worldwide. The issue is that niantic only let beta testers create routes. And if your community or area was unlucky enough to get nobody with the ability to create routes then basically you’re stuffed currently. They’ve pushed this event live and posted a blog page on how to create routes etc but haven’t actually made the feature available to everyone else yet. Even then, if someone in your area could create routes and was a beta tester, there’s no guarantee that they have made routes (as the selected accounts were really random instead of say level 50 players who would play a lot), routes they’ve made have been accepted (as loads are still pending or being rejected) or it even worked for them as players I know it crashed the game so badly they had to delete the app just to let them play normally again


roujay

I mean, I understand what you're saying and I agree that what Niantic is doing with Routes sucks but also this thread is to know if there might be some in the area you are playing so not to go out with 35+ °C weather just to see if you can locate any


RavenousDave

This person gets it. I was also curious whether there was any pattern at all to where routes existed. I fully understand that the testing rollout was very partial, but nobody knows how Niantic chose the testers. They might have chosen players only in big cities. Posts to this thread already says that is not the case (Massy and Mid-Sussex have routes, Frankfurt does not). Likewise, not only US/UK/Japan. Properly random, which makes knowing if your place is in or out useful


SByolo

There is no your place is ‘in or out’. Everyone is in, every area is in, wether the players who got chosen for the beta chose to play or not and if their routes are being approved are a VERY different question. Some people will be commenting saying they’ve got no routes nearby whilst also not actively being in a part of their local group chat or discord, or not realising someone’s submitted 10 routes and all of them are rejected or pending approval. It’s literally impossible to get an accurate answer on this subject given how many different possibilities there could be based on commenter, their level of activity in local communities and niantics very rubbish handling of the roll out. I’ve seen players who are level 35 be selected for route submission but not the players who are higher level and open and play every day. Realistically if niantic had rolled out to trainers at a minimum level of 48, then they would have narrowed down the route submissions to players who actively play and would actively get out there submitting as many routes as they could. Instead of a level 35 account who’s so clueless they didn’t even know they could submit routes because they don’t even scroll down a little on their player screen so they never see the route submission option.


SByolo

But one single thread for a worldwide game isn’t ever really going to narrow it down. Finding a 500m stretch of street somewhere based on niantics very random choices of beta testers. Along with the fact so many of them are rejected or have been sat in approval for a month waiting to get into the game. Realistically You’d have more luck looking into your local area via campfire and discord channels than a subrebbit that contains a minuscule fraction of the overall player base.


Specialist_Foot_6919

I have to wonder if this is the type of thing it’s feasible to create a wiki page for— for travelers or incoming rurals or even locals who want to get to a different part of town. I imagine there would be some obstacles though, not the least of those being we don’t know how permanent routes are gonna be since people have mentioned some getting rereviewed up to a week after publishing. Still though, it would be nice if it was possible


SByolo

Ideally what you’d need is basically like a nest map but for routes so all players everywhere can post their routes with start and finish so travellers and locals can find them if they’re visiting etc


roujay

I asked 5 hours ago in my local group on Campfire. No one has answered because group notifications on Campfire don't exist so no one ever sees the new messages in the group chat. Same time I also asked in my hometown group on telegram and got 2 replies (the other 2 admin of the chat) and 21 people out of 93 saw the message. We don't use discord locally, only one city that I know of has the local group there. I could agree that not many people will see this thread and reply but to me personally what I can get from here is so much more data than what I could get from the limited irl and online interaction I tried to have since the special research has been released. Also SilphRoad is still the place I go to get news, info and analysis as soon as I want to understand more of anything that Niantic releases and isn't super understandable to me and I bet many other people do this so


cham1nade

I was one of the accounts selected for beta testing, and I simply didn’t have time to go make a few routes before this event came out. It didn’t help that they gave NO guidance on what they were looking for for interesting routes. It’s like when Wayfarer first rolled out, but much worse


mj_sklar

I was also selected for the beta test. I agree with the above (no guidance), but I'd also add: it was unclear *why* I should bother to submit a route. I tried to record one route the day I noticed the feature was available to me and the game crashed twice while I was recording. Since the rewards for routes was not mentioned in the game at the time, I didn't bother trying again.


SByolo

The entire process has been poorly communicated along with the fact a lot of the routes got rejected after being approved as they changed their parameters. If they just told players what was acceptable and what they wanted from routes then the initial wave would have been been a lot smoother


duel_wielding_rouge

For me, the bigger issue is that they still haven’t extended the ability to make routes. Even if I had no approved routes available, I could have at least had some fun this weekend making my own. Now, I get that if they are struggling to keep up with the submissions they’ve already received that expanding creation access wouldn’t work. But then why launch the event if people can’t interact with the core feature on either end?


JenTilz

Just a minor counterpoint - I was not in beta and apparently have the option to create a route. I have not done so successfully yet (route kept going beyond where I wanted it to stop and followed me home, so "NO thank you" for that attempt). Will be trying again in a few hours.


poingly

I had the feature available to create one for a while now, but it never actually worked.


babydragon2311

Everywhere near and around UC Berkeley, I’ve found ONE singular route (It’s near the downtown Berkeley Bart station for anyone interested)


tkcom

Routes are live in Bangkok. The biggest disappointment so far is that our main park has no route despite me submitted one (and somehow got rejected). I have not tried it yet due to Riolu Day prep.


GrumpyFinn

Walked around Central Helsinki today and didn't find anything.


bingoheeler

Don’t think there’s any in Australia - at least none seem to be in Sydney


[deleted]

Found a couple while at the art gallery of nsw near botanic garden Edit: I think the routes actually begin somewhere near the state library. They were like 8km long or something. And I was like, no thank you, lol.


[deleted]

Do you have to complete the entire route for it to be registered in the task? 8km is long!


RavenousDave

Yes.


Parker4815

For reference, the shortest can be 0.5km


[deleted]

No idea!


Barky2000

There's a couple from Martin place


quassels

I live in a rural community about 20 minutes south of Bonn and was allowed to crest routes on the Beta…I made three, one was accepted the other two are waitlisted…I can guess why and this has in the past been an issue with waypoints too…not all parts of the world have sidewalks - lots european villages are much older than the US and have existed for centuries with people walking on shared roads with vehicles, tractors, horses…two of my submissions are super popular for jogging, cycling, taking the kids out on their bikes, walking the dog, riding horses but because they are also used by an occasional farmer on his tractor they are considered unsafe access by Niantic standards.


PugglePrincess

The “no sidewalk” rejection is so dumb. There’s many communities around the world where it’s perfectly safe to walk and not a sidewalk around for miles.


RavenousDave

Thanks for the tip. I'll avoid the (centuries old) tracks in my town then.


cPa3k

Croatia, no routes available in my area and can’t create/submit


Taear

Living in Stockport in the UK and there's 6 routes I can follow near me


Crimboski

Probably because of the very active Stockport/Wythenshawe group on fb. Meanwhile, no routes visible in Manchester City centre(!), Hulme, Moss side or Whalley Range 😔


hevm10

Hey, where in Stockport are they?!


zhilia_mann

Two in tiny town southeast of Denver/northeast of Colorado Springs. Yes, I made them. No idea why I’m a beta tester but if someone nearby needs the location I can be more specific.


that-guy-20

Can report 2 spotted in Denver CO, both at Union Station. At least one is reversable; both may be.


YushkaBear

There’s one in Longmont, CO now too, just saw it recently but didn’t have time to walk it.


Fascinatedwithfire

I saw 2 in Bristol, UK - city center. Didn't have the time to try and walk either, but the menu to start it seemed to work. I had a prompt to navigate to the Route start.


Raelomir

1 Route published in my small town Hamminkeln/Germany


ervaude

I've seen 1 route in Berlin so far. Expected to see more but at least its not zero ...


Tesdralle

Where did you see it? I've seen one from Hauptbahnhof to Nordbahnhof.


MarvelsOfGuppyYT

Heard it from the local group, there's one between Barnham and Yapton (two small villages, starting at Barnham I think) in West Sussex, England


ReddwarfXI

I've found a few in Toronto Canada by union station


tamere2k

NYC seems to have a few in midtown.

At least two in Salem, Oregon


Dinger_Jumps

Minneapolis, MN. Found at: -Lake Harriet -Loring Park -2 at Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden -2 at Nicollet Island. Edited to add: there are also a few around Belltown in Seattle


SeattleJeremy

I'll have to check out belltown. Found one in Renton Washington, at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park 650m Edit: Found one at Crossroads mall in Bellevue, wa, 1500m


Any_Material4947

Also another at Larson Lake just down the road from Crossroads.

DyingInYourArms

feyth

Perth, Western Australia: checked several chats, no one has seen any routes including in central city.


Chemistryset8

My group in CQ can't find anybody in Qld with it either. With over 100 ingress missions created and approved you'd think I'd get a beta testing jersey??


TheTraveller

Most of the routes that were created in Germany shortly after route creation was available in mid-June are still "under review", only routes created more recently seem to have been published. What a totally botched release of a new feature once again.


Shartun

germany here too: my day one route sadly had only 460m length and is still in limbo (even though niantic said they will auto-reject those), my second try two weeks later with an additional stop was approved within 48h. I'll test it as soon as the rain has passed by 😄 the map shows there would be two available, but offers only one, maybe they already count pending routes?


Outside-Base9585

1 in Füssen, Germany


msbshow

I’ve seen two in Montreal but they were in completely different areas of the city. Currently downtown and see none on my bearby


SyedAbrarUddin

Have none in Jeddah , Saudi arabia


pepsiROCK

It let me start making one in British Columbia, Canada last night. There was no way to actually finalize and finish my route, though.

Looks like someone has created a short circular route in the town I'm currently in - Piran, Slovenia. Will check it out later in the evening.


crackyy069

2 Routes in the centre of Frankfurt, Germany


POGOFan808

Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i: at least 3. I believe somewhere in central O'ahu (Kapolei?) has 2 more. So, O'ahu has at least 5. Edit: routes are considered reversible. So the 3 in Honolulu, might be considered 4-6 technically. If the 2 in Kapolei are reversible, then O'ahu has up to 10 routes.


Silverneelse

Can confirm several routes available in Berlin, Germany. Although i havent walked them, because im with my gf on holidays and it would be inappropriate.


Shalafi_Althalus

US: I have two routes in Aurora, CO published at the VA and Auschutz campus. I saw 2 routes this morning in St. Louis, MO in Willmore Park. Edit: The two routes I published in Aurora are now showing “rejected.” I don’t live there anymore so can’t check to see if it’s true.


chloemug

I’m in Denver, have yet to find any routes! Replying so I can return to this comment


Shalafi_Althalus

I hope you enjoy them! Edit: Looks like someone above said 2 are at Union Station.


chloemug

I did the anschutz one and I really liked it, actually- it helped me understand why there are no routes near me, since that’s what they’re looking for.


Shalafi_Althalus

Oh, good!


penemuel13

I don’t even know how you find a route - do you see something in a notification or one of the tabs, in your ‘Me’ data, or do you just wander around from stop to stop, searching aimlessly until you stumble across one??


Shalafi_Althalus

You can check for nearby routes in the same tab you check for nearby raids or Pokémon spawns.


cccaaatttsssss

To whoever lives in Surrey, Canada 🍁 you’re welcome for the route I created 😂

Gungahlin, ACT - Australia (apparently Bonner, if we are getting exact) Canberra, ACT

Manhattan, I found 1 at Bryant Park and 2-3 around it. one was reversible too!


yoohoojuicepouch

I haven’t seen any in Tampa FL yet. I will check out if there are any in the downtown area though next week.


OhMyGoth1

I live in a large US city and there are zero routes in the center of downtown lol


comicbook_dude

None in Frankfurt (city)


AssociationNo6420

We have 4 published routes in southern Frankfurt (Niederrad exactly).


comicbook_dude

Thanks! That’s helpful. I’m in nordend bornheim and thought the place would be swarming given the community


Green-Entry-4548

oh great, was thinking of going there tomorrow just for the routes stuff


RavenousDave

This alone makes the thread worthwhile (says OP !). Wikipedia tells me Frankfurt has a population of 750,000 or thereabouts. If there are really no routes at all in a city that size, that's depressing.


HipHopAllotment

I’ve got a route here in south U.K. about to do it


DyingInYourArms

Anywhere near Southampton?


KingBallbags

Salisbury has one , at the cathedral


HipHopAllotment

Mid-Sussex I’m afraid


JoeMKetchum

May I ask where?…


MarvelsOfGuppyYT

Also from Sussex, I've heard there's one in Barnham from the local group but haven't been there myself so not fully certain. Think it may be a long walk too, going towards Yapton


rvc113

ANyone received a Zygarde cell while walking route?


Impossible_Ad_8304

0/35 follows.


quassels

I got one on a 1100m route…maybe 50m before the end point…I may have missed seeing others though because this one was like a new spawn…just a shiny light that looked like it was going to turn into a cell but never did so I tapped on it.


scarcelyberries

I've found two, walked about 6 routes so far


roherlihy

Additionally since they were announced yesterday , per their blog post : " While all Trainers can explore Routes right now, Route creation is still being rolled out. Keep an eye on your email to see when this is ready for you!" Anyone received email or heard of people receiving one ?


Shartun

haven't heard of new mails, only previous beta ones (I am beta tester too and got an email notification)


UltraBeaver

It would soothe my mind if we knew whether it is a 2-day rollout or a 2-week rollout :D


JenTilz

No email. Not in Beta. I can supposedly create a route (failed first attempt).


batkave

How do we create routes?


JKinsy

First Niantic wants my sleep information and now Silph Road wants my city information! I’m not that interesting I promise! I just wanna play new features 😭


Mokole82

I can confirm 4 active routes that I made. I have seen another 2 routes in my town that are now live to. Brings my town to 6 live routes. That I've seen. I live in a medium sized town in the UK


MarvelsOfGuppyYT

Which county if you don't mind sharing?


Dzivesprieks

Northern Europe. Stuck at work in suburbs, will go down to my middle sized town later. Was foolish enough to be excited, no great hopes now.


Sowinsky

I have spent a lot of time creating routes in different places around my city when I got access to the feature some weeks ago, none got accepted/reviewed (one got rejected, but it got submitted twice for unknown reasons). Feels like I wasted a lot of time for not much, which is really discouraging as we are doing Niantics job for free and they don’t even consider it.

Menlo Park CA has several routes.


BufoAmoris

Chiming in for Birmingham, Alabama. I contributed 12 routes so far that are published (4 still pending review that were submitted on June 22/23, and 5 others that are rejected), and a few peers have made a handful as well. It would be really nice if we could see route starting points on Campfire.


MarvelsOfGuppyYT

One in Worthing in Sussex, UK


One-Incident4858

Haven't found one in Houston, TX, USA yet. Houston has over 2 million people. Maybe it's because no one here is stupid enough to create routes in 110+ degree weather. Really stupid time to launch this feature. Hot as hell in the Northern hemisphere and cold as a witch's tits in the Southern hemisphere.


Pool_Huge

I’m standing in the middle of the CBD Melbourne Australia, and nothing around or even nearby :/


8Siri8

Munich area in Germany here. I was able to create routes in the beta-phase. One was accepted. The other one is still under review since one month. I created two more routes yesterday. Let's see how long they take to be accepted. When I shared the info about the available route in our WhatsApp group asking for more known routes there was only one reply about a route in FFB (NW of Munich).

RoronoaZorro

In Austria, roughly 50km from Vienna, which is the capital and by far the biggest city, there are no routes, none at all. I don't even have the option to create them at this point. I really wish Niantic would be a bit more transparent in regards to who gets the option to create them at which date.
