Is there a way to have a sponsored stop or gym removed, when the sponsor is no longer in business at that location?
I’m asking because there’s a sponsored gym near my office; the area would be due for a community gym but the presence of this gym is blocking the quota. It’s representing a Verison store that closed several months ago.
There’s a similar situation in another neighborhood I’m familiar with about nine km away, as well.
Staff have said this previously:
I had filed a report on this one:
I haven’t been over there since, but it doesn’t seem to be there now on Map - Pokémon GO
Hey @CostcoShopper13 ,
Thanks for writing in.
You can share the details here on the forum or reach out to the team using the “Wayspot Removals” webform linked above, and we will see what we can do.
Thanks,
Okay…

There was previously a Starbucks and a Verizon in side by side storefronts in this building, which is now completely vacant. The Starbucks closed sometime in 2025 (I believe relocated to 7415 on same street). The Verizon store closed January 23 2026 (there’s still a note on the door with that date, and a new address of 4195 Genesee Avenue.) Both of them still have sponsored stops in game (the Verizon’s is a gym).
As mentioned, I’m also looking into a third location but do not yet have the full data on it.
Thanks @CostcoShopper13 ,
I have moved the Starbucks Wayspot to the correct location and you should see the changes reflected soon.
I have encountered an issue with this location. I’ll follow-up when this is done.
Thank you! That was fast!
If it helps, I looked up the coordinates for the Genesee address, it’s approximately 32.852575,-117.246104
The other location: on map as “”BGR Resale” at 6460 Riverdale St, San Diego (approximately 32.852551,-117.246084 ). This business no longer exists at this address. Its location has been taken over by “Excel Together”, an adaptive sports / physical therapy program for handicapped children, and would thus fall under the K-12 rule. (It has been updated on Google Maps, but the street view images are from 2023 and still show BGR.)
Just wanted to ask if the Riverdale address has been looked at.
Not yet, the underlying issue is not yet resolved.
Right, you mentioned about the Verizon store.
I was curious about the other location mentioned in my more recent comment (that I’d previously still been gathering info on).
I don’t see a sponsored Wayspot at this location. Could you re-check?
I have retired this one. You should see the changes reflected soon.
There isn’t. That’s the approximate coords for the Genesee address that was given on the sign of the closed Verizon on Clairemont Mesa.
I’m confused now, my bad. I need your help to simplify it for me. Could you please tell me again which Wayspot you are reporting and where it has moved now?
The former Verizon at 7035 Clairemont Mesa closed in January and moved to the address (4195) on Genesee.

This is the one we are facing an issue with.
Is the issue a lack of information or confirmation? The 7035 address is four blocks from my office, I could go take pictures if that helps.
Neither, it’s an issue on our end. We are working on a fix.
