Otherwise, google Pokemon Go and S2 cells. Your nominations may not have been eligible to show in Pokemon Go if they were not the only Wayspots in their level 17 S2 cell.
I completely agree that we need to have a map of all Wayspots to see what is already in the Lightship database. Pokemon Go players can check from their nomination map screen while they are at the location with the toggle option, but Ingress players have no way to see them.
