We often advise not to do scan research in our local community bc in addition to how long it takes, the next research task you get will always be to scan another POI, and if anything has physically changed about the POI the chances are high it’ll be removed from the game.
When you get a field research task to scan a specified stop, they want you to go to that POI, select its stop in game and use one of the corner buttons on the disk spin screen to open your camera and slowly do a 360 walk around it with the POI in frame. You then have to upload the scan. This video outlines the process pretty well https://youtu.be/zL1dCwnd7Fc
Just learned these shouldn’t appear until you hit At least lvl 37
As someone whose SO played the game for years and as a result has a friend group who also played it.
Fun fact: it’s not worth as much as they think it is.
Fucking no one does the scanning quests. You get one and let it sit there unfinished because they take too long too do.
