Can anyone tell me why this Wayspot isn’t showing up in Pokémon GO? I’m attaching the coordinates…
According to the out of date Intel Map there is at least 2 waypoints already in the same cell.
Information on Pokemon Go and S2 cells can be read here https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go
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).

Hello @Pex988
Although it can look simple that you nominate a pokestop in the game, the reality is that you are submitting something that may become a pokestop.
Once your wayspot is approved it goes into a database of approved places. An algorithm that the Pokémon Go team have decided upon, then selects those to go into the game.
That selection is based on some mapping software S2 Cells.
This article explains what they are and how they are used.

Here is your area
Pokémon Go will. Only select 1 wayspot in that green outlined S2 Level 17 cell. And there is already another wayspot in there
So unfortunately nothing else in that cell will enter the game as a stop or gym.

What a pity, because the current Wayspot there is a bit inconvenient… oh well, thanks a lot.
