Wayspot not showing in Pokemon GO nor Ingress despite meeting the cell/20m rule

Hi,
This wayspot is not showing in Pokemon GO nor Ingress despite meeting the proximity rules for both games. Moreover, this wayspot has been existing for a longer time than the one next to it (I nominated that one two days ago, while the one I’m talking about has been there for at least two months), so it’s really weird that it hasn’t showed up in the games. I nominated the same location two days ago, but I fear that it might get rejected for being a duplicate of that weird wayspot. Does anyone know if it’s a bug? I really have no idea why it’s not showing in the games.


First question - did you nominate through that app you are showing screenshots from that we have been asked not to use?

(Welcome to the forum btw, and I hope this can get sorted)

I haven’t nominated that one. It was already there when I got to the eligible level for nominating. I nominated the new wayspot of this place trough Pokemon GO.

Btw, why is there an app that shouldn’t be used available on the Play store? And why am I learning that I shouldn’t use it trough this forum? Because naturally, when someone meets the eligibility level the first thing they’re gonna do is go to Play/App store and search for the Wayfarer app. But hey, it’s Niantic, so nothing weird about that.

Dobro veče!
If the situation cyndiepooh asked about does not apply, then the only thing left would be to ask a Niantic staff member if they are blocked by a property owner request. Sometimes this happens and they can answer that a block has been put in place. I can’t see another reason for these 2 Wayspots to not show up.

@NianticAaron can you take a look?

It’s hard to believe that they asked for it to be blocked since hardly anyone plays PoGo/Ingress here and the people from that fishing club probably don’t even know what it is.

Speaking of the Wayfarer app, what’s the reason of it existing (especially under that name) if we shouldn’t nominate trough it? Feels kinda weird because what most people would do (including me) after reaching the eligibility level is to search for the Wayfarer app in Play/App store (because reviewing trough mobile web just doesn’t feel right lol). Are the wayspots submitted trough that app in some kind of limbo and are they eventually going to appear in games in the future?

they are not appearing nowadyas and the wayfarer team has told in a post somewhere to not use it. It was in beta and never finished so there are also a bunch of malfunctions.
It was intended for developers and testers at that time.

No idea why they failed to put the app on beta testing mode on the play store.

sorry for asking again, but are you really really sure that these have been submitted through your game instead of the wayfarer app? the easy way to tell is, if you log in to the wayfarer webpage, go to contributions, and don’t see your wayspots, then you can easily tell


Ljuljačke kod ribnjaka is working fine and appears in both games. The original ŠRD Ostriž that’s not appearing in games wasn’t submitted by me. The new ŠRD Ostriž is still in queue, but I fear it might be rejected as duplicate of that wayspot which is not showing in games.

interesting, Ljuljacke doesn’t appear to me on Ingress Intel - I checked my settings multiple times now…

the building will be a duplicate as the database entry already exists.

Oh, it actually doesn’t appear in Ingress, only in Pokemon GO but that’s because it has been freshly added so Ingress sync hasn’t happened since then. Well, I hope that wayspots created trough the Wayfarer app will be added into the games someday, because it doesn’t make much sense that they exist in the lightship but not in the games. It must happen eventually.
Hvala na pomoći.
