Hello, I was lucky enough to successfully nominate three new Wayspots on November 29th, it says it can take 48 hours to appear, but it has been over two weeks, is there a way to ensure they are added into the game?

If they haven’t appeared in Pokémon GO after 48 hours, it sounds like they don’t meet the inclusion rules for Pokémon GO. If you have the coordinates from your submission email, folks here will be able to show you more clearly.

They are on a central path that is clear and open for pedestrians, with other spots along the route, so that does not seem to fit my situation. One is an outdoor seating area to play chess and the like.

Going live in the game depends completely on the S2 cells. If you give the coordinates, or just a general address, we can show you.

Whether a wayspot appears in Pokemon Go does not have anything to do with what it is or what the walking situation is like.

Hello and Welcome, @cyndiepooh 's link will go in to this in much more detail and is definitely worth reading. Just a simple notes on what seems to have happened here… Your nominations have been accepted as “Waypoints” in to the Wayfarer Database. Each game then has “inclusion rules” which deter…

I guess it could be an S2 cell issue, but we have several stops that are within the same S2. And while I get it that wayfair and pokemon are separate, you’d think that if folks are adding to the game and it is approved, they’d put it in.

fyi, there are many different size S2 cells. and there are ways that a single L17 S2 cell could have more than one pokestop/gym, but it is not possible to create these intentionally through wayfarer these days. also, some apps displaying S2 cell grids that i don’t use have been reported to just be w…

Forgive me inexperience with this, but how would I share the location with you?

There are coordinates in your submission email if you can find that :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: [1000052091]

See if this post helps explain: Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)
