Thank you for looking into this. I believe there may be a coordinate issue with this Wayspot that could explain why it is currently in the same L17 S2 cell as the Gym you referred to.
I would like to clarify that I am also the person who submitted the Gym you are referring to. I have personally visited this area, walked the trail between these locations, and checked the area using IITC. I therefore know from being on site that there is a significant physical distance between the two signs — they are not located a few meters apart.
I have now checked the original nomination confirmation emails for both Wayspots:
• “Turskilt Kølabånn og Flateby”
• “Sykkelskilt langs trillestien i Fudalen”
These are two physically separate signs at different locations along the trail. However, as shown in the attached screenshot, the original nomination confirmations show the exact same coordinates for both nominations:
59.799182, 11.109096
The attached screenshot shows the confirmation information for both nominations.
The photos also clearly show that these are two different physical locations. The surrounding terrain, vegetation and trail sections are different, and the signs are clearly not located together in the real world.
Interestingly, the current Lightship data now shows the two Wayspots only about 3 meters apart:
• Turskilt Kølabånn og Flateby: 59.799208, 11.109072
• Sykkelskilt langs trillestien i Fudalen: 59.799182, 11.109096
This is not their actual physical separation.
My appeal for “Turskilt Kølabånn og Flateby” was accepted on May 20, 2026, with the appeal decision specifically stating:
“This Wayspot was rejected due to location accuracy, but the submitted location is correct.”
Because the original nomination confirmations show identical coordinates for two physically separate nominations, while the current Lightship data places them approximately 3 meters apart, I suspect there may have been a coordinate error or a coordinate change during the review or appeal process.
Could you please investigate the coordinate history of “Turskilt Kølabånn og Flateby” and verify whether its current location corresponds to the location that was originally submitted?
If the Wayspot was moved to its current location during the review or appeal process, could you please correct it to the intended original location?
I understand the S2 cell rules and why a Wayspot in the same L17 cell as a Gym would not appear as a PokéStop. My concern is that this Wayspot may currently be in that cell because of an incorrect coordinate, rather than because that is its intended real-world location.
I have attached the nomination confirmation evidence showing the identical
coordinates for the two separate submissions.
Thank you for taking another look at this. I believe the attached evidence may help identify what happened.
