Sightseeing POIs missing :-|

[makky]

Seems there is a destructive user around that likes to spoil the maps: I am missing 3 sightseeing/spotting POIs at the Cologne Airport, with ~30,000 photo views (in 1 year, see screenshot) and only 4-5 stars reviews (from my memory).

=> Aussichtspunkt Kontrollturm (Spotting point control tower)

=> Aussichtspunkt Wetterwarte (Spotting point weather station)

=> Planespottingpunkt Herfeld (Plane spotting point Herfeld) [only a screenshot of my contribution list, no own photos, no link anymore unfortunately]

This is the showed map section:

https://www.google.de/maps/contrib/100824148521043710335/photos/@50.8698191,7.149389,16.25z/data=!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1?entry=ttu

I really wonder how any unknown ordinary user is able just to bust legit, popular and helpful content, i.e. what Maps actually is about!

I tag @DeniGu – thanks in advance

PS: another solved restoration case at the airport last year

Hi @makky ,

Thanks for tagging me! I’ll forward this to our responsible team to investigate.

Hi @DeniGu
Did you hear anything from the experts?
Are they able to track the bad user??
These POIs are still missing and I still think that it is not helpful at all. Who benefits from missing POIs??

Hi @DeniGu
the next purge at the airport is pending

Now the POI “Smoking Area” in Terminal 1 is missing. My latest invoke was in December last year, see the browser’s history screenshot.
The URLs are:
URL 1
URL 2
I find it still not acceptable if useful POIs are just purged and an empty map is left.
Please let the team try to restore it to save the information including comments and photos.
Thx for assistance
