I got technical this afternoon and started using the Ingress XM locations outside of the CBD to try and find spawn locations for Pokemon. It was very telling around home as to why I do not find anything - almost no XM around my town at all.

Did lead me to some good finds so hopefully I can start tracking down more locations.

The only issue that that the zoom out function of the map in Ingress is small, so I have to keep on stopping to check things out.
