I’ve heard you need 3 waypoints in the same s2 cell but I’ve seen it without there becoming a gym. How do you get a gym? ---

Here is a great article explaining how the community has observed gym promotion to work: [https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/](https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/) If you still have questions after reading that, we can try to check the situation for you if you give the location where you think you should have a gym. Sponsored gyms can count towards the total, but don’t show on the Wayfarer map, if you have any of those. ---

If you are happy to pass the location (long / lat preferable) we will be able to take a look and let you know the situation.
