Accepted pokestop Not showing up in game

Hello so i had nominated a location to be a pokestop and after some time it said it got approved and would appear in game within 48 hours. It has now been about 3 weeks. The status still says approved though. Should i be worried? Or is there something wrong?

Welcome to the forum!

Check out this post:

If you would like to leave the title and location, someone can check for you.

Wow this is way more complicated than i thought lol
But if someone could look it up that would be really nice.
The title is: Famous Rodeo Cowboy Chaps
Location is : Lumberton Tx

It would help if the location is a little more detailed than that :slight_smile:

You can get the coordinates of a wayspot you submitted from the initial receipt email - it will be below the two photos.

Alternatively, click on google maps at the location of the wayspot and get the coordinates from that.

Example: 30.251248, -94.203962

Wow, I actually found it from that. It is indeed the case that it is in an L17 S2 cell with another Pokestop or Gym, so is not eligible to be one itself: 30.260581,-94.220083


The existing Gym is Frontier Rodeo Coffee Co 30.260414,-94.220171

Gotcha! I assumed the gym would be the issue. Thank you so much for all your help!

Whenever I talk about S2 cells I try to remember to issue a strong caution to anyone who may see the post not to use knowledge of them to misplace points of interest so they will show up in game. Just use the knowledge to look other places. This particular one appears to be eligible to be added to the power spot pool, but we don’t know exactly how those are chosen yet.

Yea no that definitely makes sense and i can see how people could abuse that system
