New way stop not showing up in pokemon go yet

I submitted a new way stop March 17th. It was accepted March 18th, however it is still not appearing in my pokemon go game. It says may take up to 48 hours, but we are 2 weeks out now.

Welcome to the forum!

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to Niantic’s Lightship database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

If you would like to leave the Title and location, someone here can check if this is the issue. But do be aware this is a public forum if you would rather not reveal your location.

If its more than 2 weeks, its probably wont appear because the s2 cells rule. That means there is another wayspot in the same lv17 cells. I recommend you read above link before submitting another wayspot to avoid dissappointment.

Disclaimer: attempting to manipulate lv17 cells by moving wayspot into empty cells is considered abuse and subject to warning and/or ban.
