I was approved but never showed up in the game, I think it is too close.. in the same s2? Cell but I don’t want to have it removed just moved further away. It’s a bride and I positioned it in the middle of the bride but it really could have been on the end to make it further away.. thank you ---

Welcome to the forums 🙂 You can legitimately move a wayspot from an OK position to a better position. An example is a wayspot in the middle of a football field can be moved to the edge. This is seen as improving the accuracy of the map. You cannot legitimately move a wayspot from a good position to a just-as-good position. An example is a wayspot on the edge of a football field cannot be moved to somewhere else on the edge. This is seen as manipulating the map for gameplay reasons. ---

Welcome to the forum. There is a known sync issue, so don’t worry just yet. > [@First wayspot approval, not appearing in-game](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/first-wayspot-approval-not-appearing-in-game/112213/7): > > Having said that, there has been an issue with the Pokémon GO sync for last couple of days. All eligible Wayspots will appear on the gameboard once the sync resumes. But to answer your question, no, you cannot move a Wayspot just for cell reasons. That is considered abuse. ---

To avoid the problem of wayspots being blocked, for wayspots that have a **legitimate** choice of where to put in the pin, such as a football field you can use the cell boundaries to make your **initial** placement. For wayspots that don’t have a choice, such as a sign, you cannot legitimately nudge it based on the cell boundaries. ---
