Wayspsots not showing in game

Hi,

Not sure if this is in the right category but I have had 4 ways spots accepted about a week ago but nothing is showing in game.

Any help would be appreciated thankyou

Are you familiar with the way Pokemon Go uses S2 cells? Here is a good article

In Ingress, the inclusion rule for the Wayspots that game uses is just a 20m distance rule. So that is a little more straight-forward, but means something can be a pokestop but not a portal or vice versa.
If you want to leave the locations, someone can check for you to verify why they aren’t showing, but it is normally the inclusion rule.

(assuming the game mentioned is Pokémon GO :slight_smile: )

I’ve a attached the location of the Wayspot a

51.47709° N, 0.64505° E

51.47724° N, 0.64588° E

51.47538° N, 0.64804° E

51.47784° N, 0.64606° E

You did, I’m replying to the original post (I think, go figure with this reply system)

What are the names of these? So we know if we have located them.


Is this the correct spot for the first one? It is within the 20m circle for another portal so doesn’t show in ingress, and is in the same L17 cell as the highlighted portal as well as Discovery Kent, so can’t show in PoGo either.

the second set of coordinates puts me here and is a similar situation with this portal

How do I check the portal of other Wayspot before I request some if that’s possible.

If you’re nearby it, and nominating via Pokémon GO, there is a slider in the first screen to turn on nearby Wayspots.

This will help prevent any duplicates that don’t appear on Pokémon GO being submitted

Is it 20 meters away from all wayspots? Also, there is a cutoff time and a sync time. The sync time is at 11:02 CST which means it has to be accepted by then to be synced the day it was accepted. There is also a sync time that happens anywhere from 12:50-2:30 CST. If it didn’t get accepted by cutoff time, wait until tomorrow, and when it syncs it should be in the game if it’s within 20 meters away of other wayspots.

20meters is ONLY for ingress inclusion. alone in an L17 S2 cell is ONLY for pokemon go inclusion. something can go live in pokemon go that does not in ingress.

I thought pogo uses s2 cells, but also needs to be 20 meters away

The pogo toggle only works in English but looks like this if you turn it on:


The ! are live Wayspots that do not show in Pokemon Go. They will still show like that even if it is just too soon for them to have synced in yet.

The tool I was using to show portals and the S2 cells is iitc with the pogotools overlay.

It used to be both. But for sometime now it has simply been the cell system for Pokémon Go.

No it doesn’t. Before Lightship, something did have to go live in Ingress first before it could show in Pokemon Go, because that was the database. Now that is no longer true.
