GapMaps has partnered with Infobel to deliver one of the most comprehensive and scalable global datasets of real-world places, covering over 200 million points of interest across more than 220 countries and territories.

 

Designed for enterprise location intelligence, mapping, and analytics applications, the dataset provides highly accurate, continuously validated information on commercial and public locations—including retail stores, restaurants, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, offices, and more.

 

Each POI record is enriched with a wide range of attributes such as name, address, geocoordinates, business category, brand affiliation, contact details, opening hours, and additional metadata like building footprints, ratings, and nearby places.

 

Powered by AI-driven processing and sourced from over 1,100 data inputs, the dataset is standardised using global classification systems (e.g. SIC, NACE), ensuring consistency and seamless integration into GIS platforms, data warehouses, and analytics environments.

 

Accurate and high quality POI Data enables organisations to better understand physical locations, analyse market dynamics, optimise operations, and build location-aware products and services at global scale.
