Accepted wayspot not appearing after 4+ days

A wayspot nominated through Pokemon GO to become a Pokestop was approved last Tuesday yet it is not appearing on the map yet. How long does it normally take for the map to refresh with a new wayspot?

If it’s been longer than what your acceptance email states (see above picture), then it likely doesn’t fit with the proximity rules used in Pokémon Go. If you want to learn more about those, read this article. If you want help finding out if it’s in an occupied Level 17 S2 Cell, we’ll need the name and coordinates of it.

The wording in the nomination prompt sounds like you are submitting a Pokemon Go game location, but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to Niantic’s Lightship database. We have complained for years about this confusing wording, but I don’t think it will ever change.
