Factual Place Rank Wants To Make Location Data More Relevant

factual-logoFactual is a company that provides open data sets for developers, most notably its location data sets and APIs. The company just announced that it has added thousands of new locations to its U.S. point of interest sets, for a total of over 22 million places in the U.S and 62 million places around the world. But with all these places, how might developers filter through these to make sure the results are relevant for their apps? Well, Factual also announced a new feature: Place Rank, which will enable developers to sort query results by relevance.
