When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
Hello,
Here’s the L14 S2 cell for the coordinates that you provided from the Intel map; the pin is the coordinates that you provided. Keep in mind that Ingress no longer syncs with the Wayfarer map, but from this, there appears to be 8 L17 S2 cells filled, so that would allow for 2 gyms.
If there is an issue with gyms in this cell, you will need to contact the PoGo team in regards to this, as it’s not a Wayfarer issue. PoGo determines which Wayspots become game play locations, not Wayfarer; Wayfarer just provides the map.
You missed something here…check my screenshot again. There are 2 more pokestops you forgot to mention
According to campfire, the Level 14 S2 Cell already has the maximum of 3 gyms:
Koliwada Water Tank - Vasai
Spice Destination
Eagle Statue
Therefore no new gyms can be created in this cell.
There are more pokestops added in game which is not showing in your intel map…check campfire carefully. There can be few more gyms , specially at the location I provided you cause there are more then 6 pokestops. You’re missing it
The maximum number of gyms in a Level 14 S2 Cell is 3, which happens when the total number of Pokéstops and Gyms in that Level 14 Cell is at least 20. Campfire shows Gym locations, and using the screenshot provided above as reference, I was able to ascertain which Gyms are in that cell already.
The red cell is the one that contains the water tank gym. The yellow cell is the one that contains Spice Destination. The blue cell is the one that contains the Eagle Statue.
Whilst not all the Pokéstops and Gyms are on this map, I can confirm using Campfire that those 3 wayspots are Gyms, and that they are all in this Level 14 S2 Cell (which is indicated by the thick green line). So there is nothing wrong here as far as I can see. The cell cannot contain more than 3 Gyms, and campfire says that 3 Gyms are already present in the cell.
Spice destination is a private property. What was the intention to give a poke gym there. Eagle statue, there is already a gym nearby. You should place gyms where they don’t exist in map
When the Level 14 S2 Cell reaches its second, sixth and twentieth active wayspot in Pokémon Go, one of the existing Pokéstops gets randomly upgraded to become a Gym. These three wayspots were the randomly chosen ones for this Level 14 S2 Cell. That’s just the way things are.
Regarding Spice Destination, it appears to be a publicly accessible restaurant that sells food, which seems perfectly fine as far as the eligibility criteria goes. Private property is only a rejection criteria when referring specifically to single family private residential property.
Hi @Nil30prajapati
I’ve moved your topic to General Discussion because the category Wayspot Appeals is for appealing rejected removal requests or to ask for reinstating removed wayspots.
So what about eagle statue. That eagle was a part of entrance of an apartment which destroyed years ago. There is nothing like that statue now.
If the statue no longer exists, you need to go there and report it as such. Make sure to take geotagged photos in case your report is rejected. If it is removed, and the Level 14 S2 Cell still contains 20 Pokéstops and Gyms combined, then a new Gym will randomly appear to replace the removed one. If the Cell contains less than 20 Pokéstops and Gyms combined after the removal, then you won’t get a replacement Gym until the cell reaches that threshold of 20.
Ok thanks. But what if they’ll again choose a random pokestop to be a gym
That’s how it’s intended to be. We are not meant to have any say in which Pokéstops get promoted to Gyms. This is intentional to prevent people abusing the system.
Well we aren’t meant to use 3rd party mapping tools, S2 map information and gym threshold information yet here we are.
Ok thanks
Why do you say that?
Whilst the wayfarer team are often intentionally a little ambiguous when it comes to mentioning things like S2 cells, they’ve never actively prevented us from discussing them when it’s relevant to the discussion in question and can help someone understand a bit more about how wayspots are used in their game of choice.
As for maps, I used someone else’s screenshot and utilised data from Campfire, which isn’t third party. The wayfarer team are well aware of IITC and we do have a thread on this forum where the community have voiced a lot of support for the creation of an official mapping tool now that IITC isn’t connected to the wayfarer system.
Off topic and heated discussion. Please remember to be respectful to each other. If it seems like there will only be confrontation, it is important to pass it off.
Who told that S2 cell overlays are prevented? There is no clarification as such from Niantic.
