Deleted Gym Still Counts as Active – No Gym Visible in Pokémon GO

Hello Niantic / Wayfarer Team,

I’m reporting a map issue in Vasai West, Maharashtra, India.

There was previously a Gym named “Gujarati School”, which used to appear in Pokémon GO around this area:

:round_pushpin: Location: 19.3414608,72.8052301 (Gujarati School, Vasai West)

In 2024, this Gym was removed — possibly due to a player report or a Wayfarer appeal.

Currently, when I check the S2 cell data using Wayfarer intel tools, it shows:

  • :white_check_mark: 5 PokéStops in the Level 14/17 cell
  • :warning: “Gym max: 1”

However, no Gym is visible in Pokémon GO anymore in this cell. It seems that although the Gujarati School Gym was deleted, the Gym slot in the system is still marked as “used,” and now no other PokéStop can upgrade to Gym, even if the area qualifies.

This is negatively affecting local gameplay as we are left with no Gym in a densely populated area.

:hammer_and_wrench: Request:
Please review this cell manually and:

  1. Confirm that the Gujarati School Gym is permanently removed
  2. Release or reset the Gym slot so that eligible PokéStops (like nearby temples or parks) can upgrade into a Gym again

Thank you for your help in improving the map for local players.

PoGoMap is not an official tool so it’s not a reliable source for information. As far as I know, PoGoMap depends on user input to add or remove POIs. IITC which is based on the Ingress map and not PGo does not show a POI at that location.

Welcome! Yep, as said above, what you show above does not look like “Wayfarer Intel tools”, or at least like the most common tool that uses “Intel” terminology, so that’s likely the source of the confusion. This website isn’t correct.

Pogomap is not official tool, so u nd to check the actual condition and edit pogomap.info as per actual condition.

Have u check if there is any gym nearby?

I don’t see any Wayspot with this name at the shared location.

There is nothing wrong with this location. All the Wayspots are functioning as designed.
