I can't see the pokestops

[serthutchinson]

I can’t see the pokestops which are approved in the game. There are no any pokestops in this area, a big emptyness when you login the game but after weeks still approved 3 pokestops don’t show up in the game. Enough meters between them btw, there is no meaning why i can’t see them.

Hi and welcome!

“Meters” is not how Pokémon GO eligibility works, so this is likely not a bug.

Please review this post that explains what is needed for your wayspots to go live as Pokéstops or Gyms, most likely this is what is happening to your wayspots:

Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

I have this written up for when I see a wheresmypokestop question. I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. The S2 cell use has not been officially confirmed as far as I am aware, but staff has acknowledged there is an additional step after acceptance. This is a good article about S2 cells and how they have been observed to be use…

Please feel free to share the locations of your wayspots if you need help verifying whether this is the reason.

If it is not the case and they are alone in their cells, then there may be a property owner/manager request in place at the location, geoblocking the area in Pokémon GO. Here only Wayfarer staff would be able to confirm.

Only after we have eliminated these two possible reasons can we speak of bugs.

If you provide the GPS coordinates of each of your nominations, we might be able to help you check if there are other Pokéstops or Gyms blocking your nominations from appearing. Just be aware that we currently don’t have any fully up to date tools that can check this, so there’s no guarantees we’ll be able to show you why your nominations are not able to appear.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I’m pretty sure there are no pokestops in these huge site. Here are the coordinats of an area near the a great community park of Çekmeköy Çınarköy village: 41.020471,29.201475. I also attached the photos of my contribituons. Thank you in advance for check this problem🙏🏼

Hi again, is there anyone who check this issue? Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have an accurate map to check these coordinates currently.

However, looking at the location for these 2 Wayspots on different maps, they do appear to be in the same L17 S2 cell, and only 1 Wayspot is allowed to be a stop/gym per L17 S2 cell.

Therefore, this is not a bug, and the density rules for PoGo are working as intended.

Also, being we don’t have an updated map, you may want to take a trip out here yourself, and then check to see how these Wayspots are listed on the nomination screen map. If they are listed on the map with a Pokestop logo, then that is the stop for the cell. If they are listed with an orange exclamation point, they are ineligible to be a stop/gym in PoGo.

The Co-ords you passed definitely looks empty but unfortunately the maps we use have not updated since May 2025.

If there is several wayspots MIA then it is possible that it is a “property owner/manager request” but only staff will be able to confirm this. Hopefully will spot this post but could be a while with it being the weekend.

The Co-ords you passed did drop in the middle of the road, I assume this is just the “General Area”. To help staff I would suggest finding the emails you received when you nominated and copy and paste the Titles and GPS Co-Ords of each one that is missing.

Good Luck.
