Dear Everyone,
I recently submitted a Waypoint via Wayfarer, and it was successfully accepted, which I was initially pleased about. However, after several days and weeks passed without the Waypoint appearing in Pokémon Go or Ingress, I checked all other Niantic products to locate it, but it was nowhere to be found.
I reached out to support for assistance, but unfortunately, I received only a standard response that did not address my specific issue.
I am now turning to the community to ask if any of you have experienced a similar problem, where a Waypoint was added only to the Niantic database without appearing in any game. Additionally, I am curious to know if it is possible to have the Waypoint relocated after it has been added.
Thank you for any insights you might have.
Best regards,
Felix
Each game has its own inclusion rules. Your waypoint was accepted into the Lightship database. Weather each game decides to use depeneds on its inclusion rules. If the waypoint was placed correctly, then theres nothing to do about relocating it.
I placed it in an empty level 17 S2 cell, well spaced from another waypoint in another S2 cell.
Do you know how can I change the position?
Do you mind sharing the coordinates?
When you say you submitted via Wayfarer do you mean using the Wayfarer App?
Hello and Welcome @fufupad Felix
We will be happy to unpick what has happened here but we need further information. In particular we need the name of the wayspot and its location (coordinates work best). If you are concerned about making that public please do say so.
Can you also confirm that you submitted from Pokémon Go.
Reviewers can move the pin in voting if they see you have placed it away from the object.
Hello Everyone,
unfortunately, I was unable to find the exact coordinates; I only have the image and the address displayed in the Wayfarer portal. The position was at the corner of the house so that it falls into the other cell.
Please find attached the Ingress map link, along with the images.
purple: only Ingress
black: Ingress & Pokemon Go
green: in no Niantic product
Hi and welcome to the forum! Is your nomination “Kunstvolle Ornamente im Fenstergiebel”? As far as I can tell, these decorations are from the facade of house number 21 on your map (see frame below, with house 22 on the left in the frame where you put the cross to show you pinned showing a totally different design). Wherever you had placed it originally, reviewers moved it onto house 21 (coordinates 50.819389,12.553129), which will result in it 1. being at its correct position, 2. not appearing in either Pokémon GO or Ingress. Sorry about this outcome but that’s something that is very likely to happen when the wayspot is misplaced for Pokémon GO purposes in the first place.
The waypoint was approved by an appeal, same situation?

If Niantic saw that it was in the wrong place when they reviewed your appeal, then yes, they definitely would’ve moved it to the right place.
