Why is my accepted Wayspot Not visible in Pokémon GO?
I suggested 5 Wayspot and all of them where accepted but no one was added to the game? Why is it? Or when will it be?
Hello,
PoGo uses S2 cells to determine game play locations, with 1 Wayspot allowed per L17 S2 cell. It’s very likely that the one that isn’t in-game is already in an occupied L17 cell, and will not show up as a stop/gym. It could be used as a Power Spot, as unused Wayspots do get used for those. More info on S2 cells and PoGo can be found here:

Your acceptance email contains the line:
Remember that not all accepted nominations will appear in all Niantic games (and may take up to 48 hours to appear)
A Wayspot that doesn’t meet Pokémon GO’s inclusion rules will not appear in that game.
If you want us to try and check, post the title of the wayspot and its location- co ordinates are best. Our map information is out of date but there is a good chance we can assist.

How do I Copy the coordinates out of the wayfarer Website?
The best place is in the submission acknowledgment email.
Or anything that is quite close so we can find it 
Kriegerdenkmal 50.020227, 9.780592

These are 4 of mine. In this town I would love to way more spots like in others around her. This 4 where all accepted and no one entered the game 
Hi,
Thanks for these.
Sorry but unfortunately the issue is indeed that they haven’t been selected according to Pokemon Go selection rules
…
You need to have read the information previously given about S2 mapping cells.
This shows the area with the S2 grid lines. I have marked up the 4 wayspots
1,2 and 3 are all close together and in a level 17 cell which already has two wayspots only 1 wayspot can appear, so none of the 3 will appear.
These can’t moved if they are at the correct locations.
This map hasn’t been updated so there may be more wayspots that I can’t see. If you visit the location and go to submit a wayspot, on the map that comes up, providing the toggle bottom left is on, you should see these other wayspots - you will the titles and photos.
Number 4 is next to another wayspot in another level 17 cell along with a third wayspot. Again only 1 can be selected.
Keep looking for suitable places /objects. But do now be aware of the cells to avoid disappointment,by concentrating your searches in empty cells and check with the submission screen too.

Thank you very much for that Information.
So it means that in a Level 17 there could only be 2 pokestops in the game? So the one with the 3 of mine never be one more?
But my next question is that in the other cell with the 4 there is no one Included in the game like many of the spots are Not in pokemon
Only 1 wayspot per cell normaly can become pokestop/gym unless it have sponsored wayspot
The information in here explains it is 1 pokestop/gym per S2 level 17
It is possible that there may be the the odd cell with 2 because of an issue that occurred in the past, but it shouldn’t happen now.
If there are none in a cell and there are eligible wayspots it may be due to a property owner requesting removal. It is hard to comment beyond that as we don’t have full information about what is in that cell.
Now I See that the Wayspot in the left side of the Number 4 got the wrong coordinates and with the right one it would be on the other Level 17 cell und could be a pokestop but how can I suggest the correction?
Is there a map available to See the cells for everyone?
If a Wayspot needs to be corrected in real life, you can ask help chat to move it at Niantic Wayfarer
A text box will come up where you can enter the information. Unless it is absolutely clear on Maps, you should supply evidence that the new position is the correct one.
They will not move something to make it show up in Pokemon Go, so don’t even mention the cells.
The Wayfarer team can see all Wayspots. There is not a map that shows all Wayspots for the rest of us. The best we can do is iitc, a version of the Ingress map, which no longer updates with new Wayspots since May 23, with a pogotools overlay to see the cells. Idk how valuable it is to install this at this point.
