• Equimati • 40,59300° N, 8,63117° O • Aveiro • Portugal ![IMG_7795](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/f/a/fa2e5bec7c3072583ea2b0c3b1475241f95a2022.jpeg) We need pokestops in this area, only 1 300 miles away the nearest. This is an old factory , been here for more then 30 years, only changed its owner. Its a good and safe place to gather or cross, many people pass by running or walking with their dogs! Adults, children and elder, everyone walks by this spot so it is a legitimate option. Without pokestops in this area we can only play if we go to the city center. Please be fair. Thank you ---

Hello and welcome @BrutalDLZ It can be hard in some areas to find eligible items (a great place to exercise, explore, or be social with others). Unfortunately a factory does not meet any of these eligibility reasons on its own. Maybe it has a break area or museum items for display. Does it have tours of the workshop? You will likely have better luck nominating local churches or parks. > [@Tips for Rural Nominators](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/tips-for-rural-nominators/137): > > Tips for Rural Nominators: Look for things that meet the guidelines that tend to be in rural areas: Churches Fraternal orders and veteran outposts Eligible points of interest AT churches, veterans posts, etc. Look for picnic shelters, ball fields, prayer gardens, Little Free Libraries, and religious sculptures and shrines.

> [@BrutalDLZ](#): > > We need pokestops in this area, only 1 300 miles away the neares Although this area is fairly spare for wayspots and gyms, you do have existing pokestops/gyms less than 800m away to the NW, NE and SE. This factory itself is not eligible as it doesn’t meet any of the core criteria. Something being a safe place where people walk past does not make it a place of interest. ---

Hello, it does not have any tours unfortunately. So i guess it wont be eligible. It doesnt have anything like that near this area, only 1 far away and in the city center. We dont have any other options in this area. Cant the factory be nominated as something else?

Unfortunately items that don’t meet the criteria aren’t eligible the be nominated, so the factory won’t work. I do encourage you to look around your area. Where do you go to exercise or play sports? That could be a good place to nominate. ---

Possibles: Cafe Pinto ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/4wYb2WpX4LHCkVSUA0](https://maps.app.goo.gl/4wYb2WpX4LHCkVSUA0)) Although restaurants are tricky to get accepted, they are often valid and especially so in sparsely-populated areas. 4.4/5 on google is good enough. The submission needs a good description and supporting links to back up any claims. Refugio ([Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oDGGFxBnCJT3ohxt6)) same situation as Cafe Pinto, same google rating.
