Hello and Welcome,

You will be surprised what can be found and accepted as a wayspot. Very few areas will have nothing.

Suggestion 1: Screenshot the entirity of one of your submissions and post. Long term members will take a look and either state that it is a none starter or give suggestions on ways that may improve its chances of success.

Suggestion 2: Post the gps co-ords (just the general area, you donā€™t want to mark your exact home :slight_smile: ). Members will take a look at google maps and make suggestions of possible nominations.

Good luck.

I agree. I think the distance between wayspots could be a factor enabling greater flexibility. I spend about half my time in a city and half in a rural town. I have to walk at least four times as far between pokestops in the rural town, but I have had an unmarked park entrance rejected there as I attempted to make PokƩmon Go more playable for locals. People in small rural towns should have flexible criteria applied until the wayspot density approaches that of cities.

It might not be as easy as you thinkā€¦

  • Does the map data used have data stating what is Rural and what is urban.
  • What about areas that are neither. I would class where I live as semi urban. 100 metres one way and its farmers fields then in to woods etc. I can still walk in to town (about 3 miles) sticking to residential streets. Do we get left behind?
  • What is classed as an urban density?
  • I see some rural areas that are more populated than some urban, do we delete some or do we allow urban flexibility until they reach the most populated Rural areas.

Whatever changes where made would effect others.

By the way, Welcome to the forumsā€¦
