Accessing Inns & Greenhouses from Hospital

I was stuck in the hospital last year after emergency surgery and I have to go in for 4 hours of chemotherapy every other week. There are a couple Inns & a greenhouse along the outer edge of the hospital property; but, nothing is reachable from inside the hospital.


I can't be the only one who would like to be able to dispel the absolute boredom from being in a hospital by playing the game. The submission requirements for new stops prevent any from ever being within reach. If it was I'd submit a picture of the bell in the infusion center to be a stop.


I was wondering if you could at least increase the accessibility range of Inns, etc. that surround a hospital so they're reachable to anyone inside the hospital.

    I wish they would do that too. As it is I wish they'd let you access them if you can see them on your map, no matter where you are. I have one of each on mine where I live but of course not close enough to access

    As someone who spent a great deal of last winter with a broken foot, I completely agree with this. However, as the Niantic gaming model is all about getting people out and moving, and some waypoints are sponsored to encourage people to visit businesses, I am not sure that the suggestion is in line with the game premise.

    I suspect until you get a local Ingress of POGO player working at any particular hospital, it will be mostly devoid of POIs. I use my Ingress account to add POIs to places I visit regularly, and I don't imagine many players are regularly going to the hospital. And when they are, their mind may be focused elsewhere.
