This data feeds into proximity insights that help you evaluate site attractiveness for residential, commercial, or mixed-use development. The better your nearby places data, the stronger your site evaluations. ![Nearby Places page showing listed infrastructure points](/help/screenshots/nearby-places-page.png) ## How to add a nearby place 1. Go to **Nearby Places** in the sidebar. 2. Click **Add Nearby Place** in the top right. 3. Fill in the details: - **Name** — A descriptive label (e.g. “Central Metro Station”). Be specific enough that teammates can identify it without visiting. - **Category** — Choose from School, Hospital, Railway Station, Mall/Supermarket, Bank, Airport, or University. - **Address** — The street address of the location. - **Google Maps URL** — Paste a Google Maps link to auto-fill coordinates, or click directly on the map. - **Location** — Confirm the pin on the interactive map. You can also click **My Location** to use your current position. 4. Click **Create Nearby Place**. **Tip:** Add nearby places while you’re on a site visit — your GPS is already in the right area, and you can use **My Location** to quickly pin places you pass on the way. ## Setting the location There are three ways to set coordinates: - **Paste a Google Maps URL** — Drop a `maps.app.goo.gl` link into the Google Maps URL field. The map pin updates automatically. This is the most accurate method. - **Click the map** — Click anywhere on the embedded map to drop a pin at that position. Great for quick placement when you know the approximate spot. - **Use My Location** — Click the **My Location** button below the map to use your device’s GPS. Best used when you’re physically at or near the place. ## Categories Each nearby place is tagged with a category that determines how it appears in proximity reports: | Category | Examples | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | | School | Primary schools, secondary schools, coaching centres | | Hospital | Government hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes | | Railway Station | Local train stations, metro stations | | Mall / Supermarket | Shopping malls, grocery supermarkets | | Bank | Bank branches, ATM clusters | | Airport | Domestic and international airports | | University | Colleges, universities, research campuses | **Tip:** Focus on the categories that matter most for your target development type. Residential projects benefit from schools and hospitals; commercial projects care more about transit and banks. ## Editing a nearby place 1. Go to **Nearby Places** in the sidebar. 2. Click the nearby place you want to update. 3. Click **Edit**. 4. Update any field — name, category, address, or location. 5. Click **Save**. You can also delete a nearby place from the edit page. Deletion is permanent and removes the place from all proximity calculations, so make sure the place is genuinely irrelevant before removing it. ## Next steps Once you have nearby places on the map, they feed into the **Map View** and proximity analysis for each lead site, giving your team data-driven context when evaluating locations. The more complete your nearby places data, the more useful those evaluations become. Share: Sorted?YesNo Still need help? We usually reply within hours.
