FAQ

How often is General facility (public) spot data updated?

It's 12 times a year.
We continuously collect information on changes at facilities from a variety of sources, including newspapers, local government newsletters, websites, and on-site surveys. Based on the collected information, spot data is updated monthly. Newly opened facilities are also reflected as quickly as possible.

What kind of data is point data for route searching?

This data shows the most suitable destination for guiding vehicles to a facility. The appropriate location varies depending on the facility, such as a facility-specific parking lot or the road right in front of the entrance.

What kind of data is named segmentation data?

Data where the name was divided by morphological analysis. You can search with short words.
For example, spot data for "ITTOEN Museum KOSOIN" is divided into "ITTOEN/Museum/Kosoin."

Furthermore, by combining the divided words, it becomes possible to extract and analyze data based on more complex and multifaceted conditions, such as "all museums in XX (region name)" or "facilities that are XX (facility category) and contain a specific name." This improves the accuracy of detailed area marketing and target customer segment identification.
