Check a shop or restaurant location before you visit

How to check a site

Search the address or tap the exact spot on the map.
Open Analyse and choose the kind of business: retail store, restaurant or café, hotel, hospital or clinic, school, or warehouse.
Read the site score and the factors behind it: everyday activity nearby, offices and retail, public transport, and direct competitors.
Run 'restaurants within 1 km' or a similar count to list the competitors by name and distance, and download the list.

How the score works

The score is out of 100 and is built only from what is mapped around the point. Each factor is shown with its weight and what it was based on, so you can see why one site scored higher than another instead of trusting a number.

Where the data comes from

Places come from OpenStreetMap, population from Wikidata with its census year, weather and air quality from Open-Meteo, and satellite imagery from Esri and NASA. Each figure in the app shows which one it came from.

What it cannot tell you

It does not know footfall, rents, spending power or sales. The score reflects what is mapped nearby, which is a first filter and not a business case.
A shop that opened recently may not be on the map yet. Walk the street before you sign.
