I submitted a location for a Pokestop that has become popular for local hiking, walking the dogs, biking, exploring, etc, with Historical interest. I was approved but how do I know if or when it will show up in the game? ![254](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/2/9/293948c6ebc068973a190c1732b9cc2b7cf65a81.jpeg) ---

Welcome to the forums 🙂 If it is going to appear, wait up to 48 hours. To know why it doesn’t, or to find out in advance if it will, please post the location (from the submission receipt email below the photos). I would expect this will appear, because it is unlikely there is anything within ~50m, which is a rough guideline 🙂 ---

I expect the next sync of Pokemon Go game locations to happen around 23-24 hours from now. For more explanation, you can see this topic they have allowed me to post. I try to explain both the S2 cells, and having to sync in.

i should not have even mentioned reasons it might not appear. i just hate to say “this will definitely appear at the next sync, you just need to wait another 24 hours” and then not have it show up. i don’t see any issues here, and hope you will post screenshots of the new stop tomorrow! ---

I am going to move this to the general discussion area as that is a more appropriate place. @fierygingeraz do let us know if it appears as we hope. ---
