What’s New
Points of Interest
Points of interest from the Overture Maps Foundation have been added to US Housing & Real Estate Essentials and US Points of Interest & Addresses. The POI data covers hundreds of categories ranging from restaurants and parks to commercial brands and hospitals. Each point of interest has a name, location, and category and is uniquely identified by a POI_ID in the point_of_interest_index table. Example use cases include:
- Listing the nearest competitors to a specific merchant. Get started with the sample query for finding the closest Lowe’s to any given Home Depot in Cybersyn Docs
- Determining physical locations of a specific brand
- Finding all healthcare facilities or schools near a given location
- Identifying target markets with a high concentration of stores to sell into
- Building or enhancing map applications
Additional updates to the data products above include the:
- Addition of 7.2M new addresses to the us_addresses table
- Removal of 49.8M duplicate addresses and deletion of 1.2M addresses with Null STREET value from the us_addresses table
- Addition of country-level geospatial boundaries to the geography_characteristics table
- Addition of ADDRESS_ID to the us_addresses table allowing users to join addresses to points of interest
