@cyberlyra I play that game. The feature they use to gather the data is called "scanning", you walk around a geographic feature while video is being taken then download it to complete the task. You are required to keep moving within a certain distance of the feature. To defeat this you walk around the area with your thumb over the camera or with the camera pointed at the ground. To stop getting those tasks you just leave one uncompleted.
