10-15m from other locations

I didn't come across a specific distance when completing the wayfarer training recently. I hope this helps others with their nominations. As a pogo player I was unaware of existing ingress locations when nominating.

"In an effort to maintain reasonable Portal density, the Portal was removed by the automated system"...
..."The minimum distance between the 2 in-game locations should be at least 10-15mts."

Yeah, the training and guidelines are vague. They intentionally don’t mention s17 cells or the 20m distance requirement between wayspots. And if you are submitting only thru Pokémon you will have no idea that an ingress portal might be within 20m but just not visible in pogo
is there any way to move the location in ingress without an account. I submitted a poke stop that was accepted but too close. It shows in ingress but not Pokémon and I cannot move it.
Yes and no. If the Pokestop you submitted is in the correct place, then that's where it has to stay. Attempting to edit a portal location away from the correct location just to enable another waypoint to go live in PoGo can be considered Abuse. Even then, if the moved Waypoint is in an S17 cell that contains another poGo stop or Gym, it will still not appear in game, only one PoGo item per S17 cell under the new rules. Looking at the Ingress Intel map, you would have to move one of those stops a very long way to get it out of the cell.
