  Q: My accepted submission is not ingame. Why?

  A: There are five posibilities:

  • Your submission is in the 20 meter radius of a different POI (not all POIs are in Pokemon Go, but still count for the distance-rule). If your submission isnt in ingress, it got sorted out after the approval by the Nia system. You can submit it again with a different location (only if you got a specific area, for example on a playground, do not fake the location because of this rule!)
  • Your submission is in a full lvl 17 s2 cell (only for Pokemon Go)
  • Your submission is newly accepted and you have to wait a bit until it is getting synced to Pokemon Go (up to 34 hours)
  • A syncing error is blocking newly submitted POIs to get into the games, so it can take a little longer than 34 hours until they will appear in ING/PGO. Mostly, only one game got syncing errors, so you could check the other games to check for your POI.
  • The location of the POI is in a geoblocked area, meaning that POIs inside this area might not spawn in a specific Niantic game. Also it is possible, that some POIs might not qualify for a specific status ingame.

  
  

  Currently, there are a lot of syncing errors. You only need to wait a bit.

  Hi there,

  There were some syncing issues between Wayfarer and Pokémon GO over the weekend that have been resolved. See this post for details:

  Are you still seeing issues with eligible Wayspots not syncing with Pokémon GO after this resolution?

  If it appears in Ingress, but not PoGo :

  • Your submission is in a full lvl 17 s2 cell, or
  • Your submission is newly accepted and you have to wait a bit until it is getting synced to Pokemon Go (up to 34 hours)

  For wayspots not appearing in HPWU, there is a known sync issue.

  Each of the games has a different set of rules for wayspot density. For new things in Ingress the only rule is that it cannot be less than 20 meters from an existing portal. Because things spawn in PoGo and HPWU it makes sense for there to be less wayspot density. HPWU is already too dense, IMO-- I am constantly trying to get to a trace that has spawned right on top of an inn, and the only way to do it is to zoom in and tap very carefully.

  These were added to the database in the early days of the game. Niantic have since changed the rules regarding Pokestop spacing and the number of stops allowed in a single S17 cell because there was too much abuse of the edit sysyem to create clusers of stops and gyms very close together. Now the rule is 1 Pokestop or Gym for any S17 cell. These rules apply to the moving of any existing Stops as well.
