Wayspot database

Is there a possibility for a regular player, to get their hands on a wayspot database? For me personally, it would be great to get some info of my local parks/areas I usually play to game and maybe to squeeze extra few wayspots to help everyone.
The reason for creating this discussion is that I've submitted few wayspots recently. Was checking nominations and got an area that I was familiar with and my submitted wayspot was already in the database, so I'm expecting to get an email with "duplicate" written all over it. That's a waste of everyone's time. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thx

In Summer, everyone will have access to the Wayfarer App which shows exactly this. For now it’s limited to Lightship developers.
However, if you submit via Pokémon GO, there should be a slider on the map when choosing location. Activate this and it’ll show Orange Wayfarer Pins for things in the database that aren’t used by Pokémon GO.
Great news, lets hope niantic goes through with this.
Missus has this feature in the game, but mine is always lagging behind with all the new features, probably because of the nickname, so I'm still missing this.
P.S. Managed to withdrawn the nomination as it was still "In queue".
Ambassadors are requested to be using the App and providing community feedback to Niantic. If you can find one of us on a social networking platform (I'm on Discord) we can help you with looking for online Wayspots not in PoGO.
Otherwise, that PkmnTrainerJ outlined works if you are in the immediate vicinity to nominate.
Make sure the toggle switch here is on:
In this image, the red pin is where I'm placing the nomination and the blue marker is a Wayspot live in Pokémon GO. I don't have a good example showing it, but a Wayspot not in Pokémon GO will appear as a red exclamation mark on the map.
I'm afraid there's no "Toggle switch" in my app, like I've mentioned before. Missus has it, so I had the chance of trying this in action. Strange, as we are using same phone model.
Probably worth raising that with in app support to see if they can add it. Get your wife to share a screenshot (or take one from here) and see if they can add it.
