Portal not showin up in pogo even though its alone in its cell

60 hours have passed since wayfarer nomination got accepted, and still not showing up on pogo even though its the only portal in its cell.

Hello, welcome to the forum.
Looking at the location, it seems that you have specified the middle of a residential area, but is that a single-family home, or is it an apartment building or some kind of business?
There are differences between countries and regions, so it is difficult to understand what is going on based on the title of the submission alone. Please show us a screenshot of the submission. If possible, please also show us the map and additional information on the submission page, as well as any images, so that we can understand what happened.

you can see the building also in google maps its huge and visible via sattelite and it covers the poi i chose for the pokestop

37.841659678920394, 23.76509616997141 is more accurate, and can be seen from Street View:

i understand. but both are accurate. however my question is do you know why it is not shown in game 60 hours later?

We no longer have an accurate map to check Wayspots, so we can’t say for sure. Staff may be able to check and see if there is another Wayspot in this cell already.

ingress split from Wayfarer, so there are 2 maps currently: one for Ingress and one for Wayfarer. We have no access to the Wayfarer map as of May 23rd, when Ingress last synced with Wayfarer.

also just to clarify this massive building has also a massive garden, and many poi locations can be chosed for this and all be accurate at the same time :laughing: . thank you for answering between

I would actually say that the location that you provided is inaccurate, as the main photo is for the front of the building, and the location you provided is closer to another building entirely.

oh ok. i didnt know. I was just curious. i dont mind if it doesnt show up but cant help to ask why so i know for future nominations

It’s possible that the appeals team could have moved the location to the front of the building, as that’s what’s in the main photo, so the front would be the most accurate location.

oh ok, the poi i think can be verified that is in the garden of the otc but yeah i took the photo on the pavement, so maybe the most accurate poi is the pavement. I dont mind if the location changes or pokestop never shows in any game. my only goal here is to understand why it doesnt show. Thanks for your time

You should submit the garden separately, and use a photo showing the garden, not the building.

hopefully some admin verifies the reason it never shown so i know for future purposes.

Does the Fifty3 Personal Training in the area have a Wayspot? It’s appears to be in the same L17 S2 cell as the OTC building. This is the cell in question; the pin is the OTC building:

its just a couple of meters away from the actual building, it is not perfect and could be better yes but it is not a crime at least :sweat_smile:. but i did it in a hurry.. thanks man i really appreciate you helping me shed some light to this mystery

Inaccurate locations may be viewed as trying to manipulate the map, which may be considered abuse. Accuracy of the map is very important, so placement of pins while nominating is very important.

thats a power spot i think. Maybe that is the reason then it didnt show up.

Power Spots do not interfere with Wayspots, as many Power Spots are imported. They don’t follow the same S2 cell guidelines as stops/gyms in PoGo do.

Please refer to the following supplement for information on how to specify the correct pin location. The reason why the PokéStop does not appear may be because the Wayfarer team reviewed your appeal and approved it after correcting it to the ideal location. When comparing the location you specified with the ideal location, it exceeds the line used in the inclusive rules. We are not sure as we are located far away, but there may already be a PokéStop in the square section of the ideal location for the inclusive rule.

Location Guidelines
Pin placement within your nomination is very important. Make sure to review the following to give your nomination the best chance during review.
Do:

  • Place the pin at the real life location of the object you are nominating
  • Place the pin along the edge or entrance of large objects such as buildings and sports fields. Placement should ideally be at the natural point of approach, such as a gate or door
  • Place the pin at the base of overhead objects
  • Keep in mind, the location needs to be safe and accessible, even if the access is restricted to employees or people with special access rights.

Don’t:

  • Don’t place the pin at a location that doesn’t naturally represent what is being nominated

At this point, you can either wait and see if staff confirm where this Wayspot is placed and if it will show up in PoGo, or go to the location and check the nomination map to see how it’s listed. If it has an orange exclamation point, then it means it isn’t eligible to be a stop/gym in PoGo, but may get used as a Power Spot. You can click on the exclamation points to see what these spots are, and if they have a photo, they are usually unused Wayspots.
