Hey there, I personally recently looked into how I can streamline looking at map data for potential spots to explore and check out on OpenStreetMap. I don’t know how familiar you are with your local area or how good mapping is, but consider checking out these queries for OpenStreetMap, if the tips for rural nominators don’t get you further.
Note for Niantic staff, this is all just advice on how to look at map data and doesn’t refer to any tools that interact with the Wayfarer platform. I hope this is fine with the forum rules.
Try this Point of interest scanner query through Overpass Turbo for OpenStreetMap. You can navigate to your local area and then start the query. After a bit of waiting, it will show you potential points of interest, which you can check out in person.
Only use this for exploration though! This should only help you to find locations to check for eligible wayspots. It’s important that you review the Wayfarer Criteria before that, as Aaron suggested though.
Also you might be interested in this bench scanner query, it shows benches and might help you to find Picnic Areas.
oh and also, I agree with the others - if you shared some nominations or coordinates, we will probably be able to help you out aswell
