Need to move an approved pokestop

[DTrain2002]

Hello and welcome,

You cannot ask to have a Wayspot moved so that it appears in-game, as this would be considered manipulating the map, which is considered abuse and against the ToS. Location edits can only be requested if the location is inaccurate.

For further info on how Wayspots are used, please see the following:

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…
