Point of Interest (POI)

A specific location worth noting on a map — a business, landmark, amenity or service.

A point of interest, or POI, is a discrete place people might search for or navigate to — a café, school, park, hospital or store. POIs power amenity search, trade-area analysis and 'what's nearby' features.

Neighbourly's Business layer includes POI records by category, queryable by coordinate and radius or by map viewport, each keyed to an address and joined to the location hierarchy.

Point of Interest (POI) is part of the Neighbourly data platform. Explore the API or browse the data layers.
