SiteSeer Points of Interest Data Enhanced 

The POI (Points of Interest) database in SiteSeer is a free data layer available to all SiteSeer users!

It includes dozens of categories including airports, bus/train stations, government buildings, schools and universities, places of worship, parking garages and more. Great news! We just added two new items to our POI offering: healthcare provider data (see the press release in this newsletter) and shopping center data. 

The shopping center data layer includes major malls and select/larger shopping centers. Like all of the POI data, it's free! This is crowd-sourced data, and is thus not as comprehensive as the third-party shopping center databases we resell, but is available to those wanting a no-cost, no-frills solution.

For those looking for comprehensive data, we partner with several other excellent providers.

Introducing Hexagon Geography for Theme Builder

Want to make your hot spot maps or demographic themes a lot more detailed? We have a solution: Hexagon layer in theme builder!

Here's the problem with Census blockgroups and traffic count polygons: they range from very small (dense urban areas) to very large (rural areas). These very large areas often don't provide the level of detail needed to differentiate one area from another. This is noticeable in high-growth areas on the edge of cities - places that were rural at the time of the Census but are now suburban neighborhoods.

Hexagons are small and uniform in size. There are seven times as many hexagons in the U.S. compared to blockgroups, providing a high level of detail for maps and themes! And for summarizing data like population or customer counts, hexagons are comparable from area to area. Questions about the hexagon overlay? Contact us!
