Accepted wayspot not appearing in pokemon go

Hello, my nomination “(Salle D’exposition Art’Saléve)” was accepted on (27/10), but it doesn’t appear in Pokémon GO.
Could you please confirm if it’s in the Lightship database and check whether it meets PokéStop inclusion rules?

Welcome to the forum!

This probably explains what has happened: Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

I am unable to find the gps coordinates in the format you gave them to check the map. If you still have the submission email, you can share them as they show there under the second photo. Or someone else here may be familiar with the format you used.

We need the GPS Long Lat.

It will appear on the email you received when you 1st nominated it.

The one you stated above is incorrect as both state N(orth), the 2nd one should be E(ast) or W(est) but its easier if we get the decimal version, it will look something like 51.501272, -0.141600

Note: The map we use no longer syncs since May 2025 so anything since then will not be displayed but we can take a look…

The gps coordinates will be in the submission acknowledgement email below the second photo if you still have that email. Like this:

If I copied the coordinates correctly from the screenshot, there are two portals (Ingress game locations based on Wayspots) in this L17 cell. I would guess one of these is a Pokestop or gym:


So this location with coordinates at the red pin in the screenshot is not eligible to be a Pokestop or gym because there are already Wayspots in that L17. If the Pokestop/gym is the first one (siège des Scouts de France), this may become a Powerspot.

There is 1 pokestop (the church) really on the edge of l17, isn’t that possible?

It is not possible to move the location of the church as it is correct.
Even if it was moved out then as there is already another wayspot in that cell there is a 50/50 chance it might not appear.
It is frustrating but it best to accept the situation and start to look for other potential wayspots in empty cells.
