Company Radar Proximity search for Companies House Data
Company Radar is a proximity search engine for Companies House Data. It displays a Google map of your position and companies in the immediate area
Using Company Radar you can quickly find companies relative to your current location.
When you move the map around the radar looks up more company locations based on the center of the map.

How was the data geocoded?
It's taken this website about 6 months during 2015 to geocode all company addresses in the official dataset. A large portion of the geocoding was done using a raspberry pi.
How does the radar work?
The idea is simple:
- Get the user's gps position based on the user's device
- Lookup the position in our database of companies based on official data from Companies House
- Display a google map of the results.
