Welcome to the forum!

This question comes up often, so I wrote this.

Your Nautical club P. Fokea (37.717820, 23.945633) is in the same L17 S2 cell as Public Gym (37.717956, 23.945540) so only one of those can be a Pokestop or gym:

Your Υπαιθριο γυμναστηριο (37.718081, 23.945525) is in the same L17 S2 cell as benches (37.717978, 23.945534)

This is a great example of how Wayspots can be very close together and still both be eligible to be Pokestops if they are in separate L17 S2 cells

Can i ask why, we cant have new pokeshops when people play on this location. I have seen in other locations 5-10 pokeshop and gym in the same cell. Can you please explain me how its works?

What kind of app do you use to see s2cells?

Please look at the last screenshot. It explains how some Pokestops can be really close together. Plus there can be sponsored locations, and some really old ones could be breaking the current rules.

Forum rules do not allow me to link to a third party tool. It shows the cells as an overlay on the web submit nomination map form. It was created for the Wayfarer Discussion Discord. I am allowed to give the link to that: Wayfarer Discussion 5.29

Some of the pictures with multiple pokestops in one cell are because of events, sponsored pokestops or malicious manipulation in the past - these can be removed.

You can potentially have new pokestops they just have to meet the Wayfarer eligibility and acceptance rules and then meet the Pokemon Go selection rules.

It is not a simple process. But wayfindrs in here will be happy to help you and your community.


I am having trouble getting just the view I want to show you. (It’s a new tool, and updating often due to changes made to the Web Submit form.) But any cells that aren’t shaded purple and are inside the blue circle submit range do not have a submitted Wayspot in them. This map would not show Sponsored or Community Ambassador Pokestops/gyms. You can look in those areas for something to submit.

And I want to be very clear, because I have been misunderstood in the past, that you must find things to submit that are actually there, not just put the pin there. Niantic considers pin misplacement to be serious abuse.

Thanks all of you for your advice. My scope of new wayspots is because we dont have a lot of gyms and we are waiting all day long if come up any raid and we lost the events very easy with that way. I am trying for the community to hold people playing with me and my friends on this area and make more active the game. Sorry for your time. I hope my next wayspots will be properly for the s2 cell rule

That link in the topic I mentioned explains about gyms, too. They are based on bigger L14 cells. This is what those look like there


You get gyms when you have 2, 6, and 20 pokestops/gyms total in the L14. Three is the most gyms that you can create, however there can be more if Niantic adds a sponsored gym.

Wow! a new version is up!

Wooow nice!!!

We are happy to help :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
You are going to have to have a careful look at the Level 14 cells in order to focus your effort.
A key issue is how these cells line up relative to the coastline


So large chunks of some cells are sea with nothing to submit.
So plan carefully, walk around a lot looking for places and thinking about
Great place to explore or socialise or to get exercise.

Noticed! i will and i will update you with my job!

Your nomination may…

  • become a Powerspot (Dynamax / Gigantamax) depending on its proximity to other waypoints.
  • replace the existing waypoint if that is removed for legitimate reasons. ***
  • be used in other Scopely games.

***Do Not attempt to get a legitimate wayspot removed just to get yours on to the map. This is seen as Abuse and can lead to suspension / bans of all accounts (Wayfarer, Pokemon Go and any other Scopely games).
