Accepted POI Not Implemented - Destination Café - Douai

[Yutil]

Hello,
I submitted the nomination Destination Café - Douai and it was accepted. I placed it in a free but nearby cell so that the nomination could become a PokéStop. I know it has been added to the game because I came across it while reviewing. However, after 3 days, it still hasn’t appeared in Pokémon GO. It also doesn’t show up on IITC.
Could you please take a look?
Below are all the details I have:
GPS coordinates: 50.3680495, 3.0804989

The POI was submitted the May 4th and approved the May 9th. Others Pokestop of mine are visibles in game.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello and welcome,

First off, syncs are going to be less frequent for Ingress, until it officially splits from Wayfarer. There is a recent staff post about this:

Ingress Map Sync Cadence Update

Hello Explorers, As you may have noticed, Wayfarer map and the Ingress map have stopped syncing as of two days ago. This is intended as part of the ongoing transition work on both teams. I’d like to confirm that this does not mean your approved submissions will no longer have the opportunity to sync with the Ingress map prior to the transition. While the map will no longer sync automatically per its usual schedule, there will now be manual periodic map syncs between Wayfarer and Ingress. Hopef…

As for PoGo, it’s actually located at 50.368159, 3.080564, and appears to be right on the edge of neighboring S2 cells. Here’s what that looks like on IITC, with the pin being the correct location:

So, it’s hard to tell if it is in the empty S2 cell to the north, or is in the already occupied S2 cell to the south.

Also, being you have noted that you placed this inaccurately, just going to let you know that is considered abuse, as it’s manipulating the map. Accuracy is very important for Wayfarer, so placing a nomination simply to get it into a game is seen as abuse. From what I see, the entrance of this is at 50.368085773223406, 3.0804958426999347, which is what is in the photo for the Wayspot as well, and that would have been where I would have placed the location pin.

I double checked it, and it’s in the southern cell that’s occupied.

Hi @DTrain2002 , @hankwolfman ,

Thank you for your answers. Those confirms what I thought first. Maybe the neighbour bar next door will bé luckier.

I genuily didn’t know that placing wayspot at the back part of a bâtiment may be seen as abuse. I will be more carefull next times.

The back end doesn’t represent what you have pictured, so someone may come along and think it’s in the wrong location, and ask for a move.

Anytime I nominate a local business, I always put the location pin at the main entrance for the public, not in the middle where it could be an area restricted to employees only, or even end up being placed in the bathroom, which could be seen as an inappropriate location. Placing the pin at the main entrance is typically the safest and most accessible area.

Keep in mind that Wayfarer doesn’t take game play into account, just that nominations are listed accurately on the map. It’s up to each game to decide what gets included based on the inclusion rules, but those rules aren’t considered with Wayfarer, just that the nominations and edits are accurate to the real world.
