Waypoint approved but dosent show in Pokemon GO

My waypoint isn’t showing up in Pokemon Go. I looked on the map on NianticWayfarer.com and it shows the waypoint but says it’s not in Pokemon Go. Now I know it’s in its own cell and it’s not too close to any other pokestops or gyms. It’s part of a Ten Commandments trail and all of my other ones have been fine. Please help

Here’s the coordinates and pics

It might not have synced yet - it was only approved 3 days ago. I would give it a couple more days before being at all concerned.

Hi. You might want to wait a while before asking again. Sometime its just sync time. I see it was aporoved on 11 july

yeah I have no problem waiting. The only reason I asked and became concerned was that I’ve always read to wait until after 48 hours. I’ve had ones in the past not show up and boom after 48 hours they showed up. So that’s all and I appreciate the feedback. I will wait some more days and see. Question is now…if it ends up not showing up what should i do ?

The “48 Hours” is a good rule of thumb but is more of a “should be, if everything is OK”.

Sometimes the sync is switched off, mostly due to technical issues which could last for days and sometimes when large events (such as this weekends Go Fest) take place.

There is usually a mention of any missed syncs on the forums (not much gets passed these guys :slight_smile: ).

Good Luck.

You’re not alone. There hasn’t been any sync since July 12.

I am facing the Same issue right now. Would Love to here an Update from you once it appears in Pokemo Go!

Atleast I know that I am not the only one dealing with this. Everyone report back here once they show up as will I

I’m also waiting on some poke-stops to sync, one has been over 48 hours so the knowledge that syncing can be disabled for events is reassuring. Fingers crossed for Wednesdays raid hour then!

You’re not alone. I have two recently approved wayspots on opposite sides of the globe (and both in their own L17 S2 cell) that have been approved but haven’t appeared in game yet.

We chose a bad time to nominate POIs lol. I have about 6 in limbo .. well had … and now since this post was created I have had more get accepted so I guess I’ll be waiting on those too :laughing::laughing:

Same here :slight_smile: I got my 3 waypoints accepted 13. July and still waiting. They are all in different S2 cells (if Im not fully blind) :smiley:

well this one went thru and is now in game

Maybe can someone have a look at my 3 new Waypoints? I was sure I checked the Lvl 17 S2 cells but I dont get it why they made it not in the game. All 3 are new created (blue circles). A year ago I created my first (red circle) and this is ingame.

They will show up. You must wait 48 hours or sometimes longer. As long you put each one in its own cell, your stops will show up

Thanks for the reply, Im aware of the waiting time. Does it matter, and isn’t it certain, that the waypoints were marked as “not in the game”?

That status can change once they get picked up by Pokemon Go. Currently, I would wait a lot longer than 48 hours as there are known delays.

There seams to be a problem in the game. it was very slow the past days. Maybe a sync problem? I don’t know. I also had to wait longer then usual before an accepted pokestop apeared in the game

There been a lot of that … Wayfarer mentioned to me that approved, but not visible, could happen because this information is not solely used for the Pokemon Go APP. It’s been months and not visible.

That is a completely different issue to the current delays in wayspots becoming visible in Pokemon Go.

Each accepted wayspot goes into the wayspot database. Pokemon Go then chooses which wayspots to use.
