Contact Basemap should you wish to purchase Points of Interest. Data formats are deliverd as a flat text file.

Points of Interest is a dataset of around 3.9 million geographic and commercial features across Great Britain - all highlighting location and function information, (classified into more than 600 individual classifications from more than 150 different suppliers) and with a postal address for all postally addressable Points.

Points of Interest has a highly developed three-level classification system to help you identify the features you are interested in. Points are classified into 9 broad Groups, 49 subject categories and then around 615 highly specific Classes. This might be anything from accommodation (for a business traveller or tourist) through landscape features (for planning uses or the emergency services) to transport links (from rail and air to bus and tram users). Points of Interest includes POIs with a postal address (eg banks, hotels and restaurants) and those without (eg lakes, electricity sub stations and golf courses).

Each Points of Interest feature is provided with a national grid coordinate so it can be visualised as a point on a digital mapping system. When Points of Interest is combined with mapping, it becomes a powerful component in a modern, detailed location-based application.The product is updated every three months to all customers
