I have seen staff confirm a geo block, but it is late on a Friday and idk their office hours. If they don’t respond to this post, maybe create a topic in Bug Reports & Technical Support asking if they can confirm a geo block next week. They can’t say who requested it, but they may be able to tell you what they would need to lift it.
Example: Nominations Accepted; 3 POI became portals in Ingress; But not in Pokemon Go - #13 by NianticAaron
Hello @superrayn,
Niantic encourages experienced players in both Ingress and Pokemon Go to nominate wayspots for all of Niantic games. If accepted, a wayspot goes into the mapping database - Lightship.
Then each game uses their own inclusion rules to pick what goes on their unique game board. If it’s been o er 48 hours since your acceptance, it’s likely it doesn’t meet your favorite games rules.
You can read additional information here:
Its in the same cell as “Pesawat Parkir” and “Halte Transjakarta Mangga Besar”. Either of those should be in PoGo and not allow your nomination to appear in PoGo.
“Halte Transjakarta Mangga Besar” does exist but “Pesawat Parkir” wayspot not appears in the Pokemon Go game, what should I do?
Assuming that everything is in the correct location, then you don’t do anything and just accept that the proximity rules are the way they are and that you can only have one Pokéstop or one Gym in that Level 17 S2 Cell, which is “Halte trabsjakarta mangga besar” in this case. The other two wayspots may get used in other games, and I guess it’s possible they might get used as Power Spots, but the cell can only ever contain one Pokéstop or one Gym.
More may get added into Ingress than Pokemon Go as that is the parent to it as it came out before.
Pokemon Go came later so is younger.
It is not because of age but because of the different algorithms used to determine whether a Wayspot can go live in the individual games. Ingress uses a 20m rule, which allows more game locations to go live in the space of an L17 S2 cell, where Pokemon Go can only have one. But these algorithms can also mean that something can go live in Pokemon Go that cannot appear in Ingress.
The “Ohio State Pavement Tile” wayspot lies in an occupied cell and therefore will not appear in Pokemon Go as a pokestop.
It shares a cell with the “Commerce Parkway Picnic Area” wayspot, which I assume does appear in Pokemon Go as a pokestop.
Is there a way to go back in and edit it?
Only if the current location is inaccurate, moving a wayspot just so that it will appear in a particular game is considered abuse by Niantic.
Assuming that the tile is in the correct location, then no, nothing can be done to make it appear as a Pokéstop or Gym, as it would be abuse to move it away from the correct location. It may still get used as a Power Spot though, and could be in other games like Ingress.
The picnic area wayspot is not currently directly on the picnic area, but even if it was moved to a more accurate location, it would still be in the same Level 17 S2 Cell as the tile, so it would still be blocking the tile from appearing.
Got you, ok. Thank you

Me pueden ayudar de favor.

Your images didn’t upload but I believe this is your Wayspot?
Pokémon GO’s inclusion rules are one PokéStop per S2 L17 cell.
As you can see below “Busto Sergio Mendez”
is the Wayspot that became a PokéStop for that cell. Your one doesn’t meet the inclusion rules to appear on Pokémon GO as a PokéStop.
It is also within 20m of the Busto Wayspot which is a Portal in Ingress so also won’t appear in that game.
Hola.
Justo ese es el Wayspot al que me me refiero, si miras bien, la linea de la caja cruza a la mitad el punto
Será posible que se tome la caja de arriba?.
If the Wayspot is already correctly placed, moving it can be considered abuse.
Comprendo. pero para que no se considere abuso, es posible eliminar y volver a subir?, o simpremente ya no es posible?
There is no way to delete an approved Wayspot, except for reporting it for removal if it meets removal criteria. And in that case you could not submit it again.
