"Nests an OSM - and how to find new nests"


#PokemonGO: So first of all, big thanks to all of the users who posted about the correlation between OSM and nests before (espacially this one: https://redd.it/633c6u). Also shoutout to this user: /u/Wheelie-Bin-Laden. He helped me understand OSM a bit more since I'm not an OSM expert (yet).IntroductionIn this post I will mainly focus on more unknown nest types. It is known that parks and golf-courses can become nests but I will talk about nest types that are currently not well known. For evidence I used the big German tracker. I'm aware that many people dislike this scanner, espacilly in this subreddit here, but I used for my analysis because it is way easier to find nests and give evidence for what I'm talking about.Rural nestsLet me start by telling you how this started: We have a big vineyard next to our town and before Gen2 start, it was mostly known because of the many gyms there. But after Gen2 was released, my friends and me played a lot in this area and noticed that there are several single spawnpoints and small nests.After commenting on another post I got in contact with /u/Wheelie-Bin-Laden who told me about this query: http://ift.tt/XHjgOz. This query can identify areas which are marked with a special tag on OSM. I used this and took a closer look at our vineyards. Well it turns out the area looks like this: http://ift.tt/2pvo4PH . There are multiple small areas marked on OSM with either landuse=farmland or landuse=vineyard. This led to my conclusion that every area in our vineyards which is marked with one of these tags is a single nest. There are multiple small nests and it is quite hard to identify them because most of them have only one or two spawnpoints.I also found at that we have a smaller mega nest next to our town. This is how the area looks on the scanner: http://ift.tt/2oSpboH. You can see multiple nests: An ekans, an Omanyte, an Onix nets aswell as a Remoraid nest. Using the query mentioned before I found out that the Rettan, the Remoraid and the Omanyte nest are all marked with landuse=farmland on OSM, which you can see here: http://ift.tt/2pvqmhT. The Onix nest however is marked with landuse=farmyard as you can see here: http://ift.tt/2pvzyT8 I found out that all these tags trigger nests I searched for other big nests with the scanner and found this big Scyther nest: http://ift.tt/2pvubU5. I had a look at this area with the query and found out that the big Scyther nest was marked with landuse=meadow on OSM (http://ift.tt/2oSc4E8).I used the query and the scanner to find more evidence and well, I was successful and found further evidence (I won't post it because it is always the same, if anyone is interested just DM me or leave a comment and I can post further evidence.).ConclusionTo sum it up, areas which are marked with landuse=farmyard, landuse=meadow, landuse=vineyard or landuse=farmland on OSM become nests in Pokemon Go. In the beginnig I wasn't sure if rellay every area with one of those nest is a nest, but after several nest migrations and many small nests I found around my town I'm 99% sure that every area with one of those tags on OMS is a nest in Pokemon Go.How to find new nestYou can use this query http://ift.tt/2pvceoP to identify areas with the tags mentioned before. Simply replace the tag one the left-hand side with one of the others I mentioned and then click start (button in top right corner). It helped me find several hidden nest and this can be very helpful if you live in an are wihout scanners or if you don't like using them.Also an extra tipp: It is very hard to identify most of the nests because they have a small number of spawnpoints (or even don't have a single one, which happend to me a few times), so it is hard to identify the nests. Also remeber nests can be Pidgey nest etc. too, so don't be too disappointed when you don't find a nest species, you might come back after the next nest migration.Edit: spelling, grammar, ... via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2oSs6gV
