Hello all,
I had a validation of pokestop a few days ago and it still doesn’t appear on Pokémon go.
Can you enlighten me or tell me how long it takes,
usually this is faster.
thank you in advance.
I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to Niantic’s Lightship database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. This is a good article about S2 cells and PoGo: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
If you would like to give us the location of the Wayspot, someone here can check if the S2 cells are the reason. The gps coordinates will be below the second photo in your submission email.

Thank you very much for the feedback I don’t have the GPS coordinates and only the address is it okay
Okay I do see your Wayspot as a Portal here
but it is in the same L17 cell as L’Araignée De Vauréal so it is not eligible to become a Pokestop or gym.
OK thank you very much for these explanations.
What software do you use to check?
I am using iitc with a pogotools overlay. I am not allowed to share a direct link here, but you can search it. if you have any trouble with installing it, the folks at the Wayfarer Discussion Discord were able to help me, and that is saying a lot about how good they are at helping people who don’t understand anything about tools stuff.
Thank you very much for all

I should mention that iitc is a map of Portals, not all Wayspots, but it is better than nothing and puts the Wayspots that it does show in their accurate positions. You will need to make an Ingress account to use it, but you don’t have to play if you don’t want to.
