Hi there, my nomination on noantic wayfarer is accepted. But it says on the map not in game. Is it because pokemon go didn’t accept the pokestop?
What is pokemon go’s criteria for pokestops or gyms?
Greatings
Welcome to the forum.
Niantic only acknowledges that there are density rules for a Wayspot to be included as a Pokestop. The community has discovered that these algorithms appear to be based on S2 cells - specifically L17 S2 cells for Pokestops and L14 S2 cells for gyms. You can read more about this here: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
(Standard disclaimer not to use knowledge of S2 cells to misplace pins. That is abuse.)
Welcome to the community.
Cyndiepooh has posted a valuable resource that will help you understand S2/L14&L17 inclusion rules as we, the community, understand the way the Pokemon Go team include Wayspots into the game. There are other reasons including geoblocks requested by owners of a given site.
If you are willing, can you disclose the co-ordinates and the name of the Wayspot in question?
This is blocked by Route 6 directions (51.189142,5.058796)
Incidentally, I am not sure that either of these are eligible even though the community accepted them. There are liable to get removed by Niantic if anyone reports them. There are discussions on this forum about these particular types route of markers, but I’m not sure on the finer points as these have arrows.
Ahh okay thank you
Thank you for your quick response, one more question and i m finished, what app or website is that in the picture?
I completely understand you submitted this based on nearby wayspots, but as can be read below these are ineligible:
I am using third party tools with the Wayfarer map. We are not allowed to link to third party tools. You can do an internet search for “wayfarer tools” if you are interested. The site for these will have an invitation to join the Wayfarer Discussion Discord where you can talk to other Wayfinders, including many of the Wayfarer Ambassadors.
Why not what is rong with them
Please read that thread, especially the comment from Niantic. Not everyone in the wayfarer community understands the reasoning, but the ruling from Niantic is fairly clear. These two wayspots are not eligible.
I see the discusion, and the statement of niantic. But i think the notes are not just infrastructure. They are trail markers. Okay i get you have a lot of them and they don’t make a fixed trail. But they are made so you could build your own route. It is the same with pokemon go routes. And these “infrastructural signs” are the trail markers in Belgium and The Netherlands. If you go to a park there will be these signs to guide you. Example, this is a website made by the gouverment: https://www.provincieantwerpen.be/nl/fietsinspiratie every route trusts on the markers
That discussion has been tried many times and Niantic’s stance has not changed. I recommend accepting this.
I know, but then every rural place in belgium or Netherlands would’nt have pokestops or gyms.
That is no reason to not follow the criteria Niantic sets, I would highly advice to take the recommendations done by the people here on the forum to heart. They are trying with the best intentions to clarify this to you. And if you ask nicely, many people are willing to help look at the map to find potential new candidates for wayspots 
.
Ok i will do. I don’t want to mock you ( i don’t know what the titel ambassador does.), but i think to stop this is to update the review criteria on the website Niantic Wayfarer
To help you understand what ambassadors are here was the announcement of this years ambassador program: Wayfarer Ambassador Program - 2026
I agree that communication can be improved, to help you there is also the clarifications part of the forum: Criteria Clarification Collection - Niantic Wayfarer Community
And I did a very quick scan in your area and spotted the following potential interesting locations:
Restaurant STOKT21
Diyanet Moskee Ayasofya
And potentially many more
I know i should quit but those routes do have a name but the directional signes are a similar sign to the biking sign, it is the same but for walking
I m sorry but in the new criteria doesn’t stand that these signs are forbidden. The are even signs with less information and speciality
