	To extract the fullest possible value from the data, it is best viewed and analysed within a Geographic Information System that can use the coordinates to display each feature's geographic location as a point in combination with a city map.This could be a feature such as a Restaurant, a Bank or an Hotel, or a coordinate supplied from a mobile phone.   When Points of Interest is combined with mapping, it becomes a powerful component in a modern, detailed location-based application. The product is updated regularly to the delight of our customers

How Points of Interest can be used

The primary use of points of interest is to allow identification of different facilities or resources within the built and natural environment.
The data can be used within a table format, such as a spreadsheet or a database to create gazetteer or list type applications that allow people to search for a particular facility or resource.

Points of Interest data can be used with other STL products and customer's own data. Using it with STL's Street Layers provides a dramatic improvement on how different categories of Points of Interest affect our customers. For example, if a consumer company like Cadbury wishes to evaluate how locating their sales outlet close to primary schools could affect the sale of Bournvita within Wuse in Abuja, Cadbury can use STL's POIs to do an initial desktop proximity analysis and evaluate the impact of the Points of Interest on its product sale.

Points of Interest can also be used for a comparative analysis. For instance, Oceanic Bank while searching for optimal location for its new branches in Onitsha can use the Points of Interest to see the geographic spread of Bank PHB or Unity Bank's branches iin the same place or any other place.

Although it is possible to use Spreadsheet for competitive analysis, but the use of STL's Points of Interest with digital map allows a company to leverage on the visual power of maps and make efficient and faster strategic decisions.

Vehicle Tracking and navigation

Vehicle tracking and in-vehicle GPS-based navigation tools are becoming a must have in major cities across Nigeria. A detailed and maintained Points of Interest theme to accompany road routing and restriction information adds real value and context for users.

Emergency Services support

In an emergency, finding the location of an incident or service user is vital and urgent. Callers do not always know where they are and Points of Interest can be a useful addition to the armoury of tools to help find a location in the shortest possible time. With Points of Interest, searches like 'near the National Art Theater' or 'Close to Awani Market' become much easier to complete.

Location-based services

Points of Interest data enhances the functionality of mobile digital devices from phones to PDAs and personal navigation devices by allowing users to pinpoint attractions and services, e.g. Hot Chicken wings at 'Tastee Fried Chicken' on Ogunlana Drive -Surulere

Your car is in traffic on Lagos Marina very close to 'The Stallion Plaza'
