Hi at all. I received an email about a week ago that my wayspot has been approved and will be visible in 48 hours. It is still not on the map in the game. What could be the reason for this? Thanks for Information
Hello and welcome @Sabby9314
It’s not obvious where to best to post on this forum so I will move this to nomination support.
The likelihood is that it hasn’t been selected by Pokemon Go.
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, and it is quite complex and involves several steps.
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.

I appreciate this is all things you don’t want to hear.
If you provide the co ordinates of the location we can try to confirm what the situation is, but our map information is now 3 months out of date so may not be totally accurate, but we can try.
In addition to what has been said
This isn’t what the email says at all. It actually notes:
Remember that not all accepted nominations will appear in all Niantic games (and may take up to 48 hours to appear)
