My wayspot accepted in the map but all the wayspots are orange and mine is white, why it happened? ---

Welcome to the forum 🙂 It takes up to 48 hours for Pokemon Go to pick up new wayspots and decide whether to use them. It is likely that your wayspot was only approved in the past couple of days. If this is the case, please wait for 48 hours to pass before being at all concerned. if the approval was more than 48 hours ago, please post the title and coordinates if you want fellow wayfarers to have a look 🙂 ---

This was approved 4 days ago, but will not get used by Pokemon Go due to the density rules. This entire area has far more clustered pokestops than Pokemon Go normally has. ---

This is an unusual cell in that it is showing both a pokestop and a gym currently. Please see this topic for further explanation: > [@Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go/106925): > > tldr: See this article for an explanation of S2 cells: [https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/](https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/) [Updated July 6, 2026] Although the Pokemon Go in-game prompts suggest that you submit a new “Pokestop,” you actually submit a new \*Wayspot\* to the database.

You can’t force extra pokestops into the same L17 S2 cell anymore. ---

You’re probably used to pokestops being clustered together, since it’s what has happened there, but this is very unusual. There are lots of cells which have multiple pokestops, most of which are from 2019 and 2020, but the usual practice is that only the first wayspot in a cell becomes a pokestop.
