Niantic Wayfarer is a free Android app developed by Niantic Inc. that provides a powerful tool for Niantic Lightship Developers. With this app, developers can create scans that contribute to Niantic's worldwide Visual Positioning System (VPS). It is particularly useful for creating Private VPS Locations that can be used for testing apps in development.

In addition to its use as a development tool, Niantic Wayfarer also allows users to contribute scans of real-world locations directly to Niantic's 3D map of the world. These scans can be used by other Lightship Developers to create more realistic and immersive experiences in their apps. The app is easy to use and provides a straightforward way for developers to contribute to Niantic's VPS and for users to contribute to the creation of a more detailed and accurate 3D map of the world.
