Hi,

there is the new ServiceConnect option for Factual, which you might want to try.

factual = ServiceConnect["Factual"];
results = factual["PlacesDataset", {"Location" -> Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}], "Radius" -> Quantity[10, "Miles"], "Sort" -> "Distance", "Query" -> "museum"}];
GeoListPlot[Tooltip[#["Location"], Column[{#["Name"], #["HourDisplay"]}]] & /@ results, GeoRangePadding -> Quantity[500, "Yards"]]

This will give you:

The opening hours etc come up if you hover with the mouse over the points. In all fairness this is code from the Documentation of ServiceConnect - only slightly modified to fit your request for NewYork.

Cheers,

M.

Hi,

GeoListPlot and GeoGraphics etc are all quite easy to use. Here is a version with GeoGraphics:

factual = ServiceConnect["Factual"];
results = 
 factual["PlacesDataset", {"Location" -> Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}], "Radius" -> Quantity[10, "Miles"], "Sort" -> "Distance",  "Query" -> "museum"}]; 
GeoGraphics[GeoMarker /@ Normal[results][[All, 2]], GeoRangePadding -> Quantity[500, "Yards"]]

Cheers,

Hi Marco,

As you showed me earlier, when using an outside knowledge source like Factual: I can use the data to get a map so that when I hover over icon I get address, phone # or whatever. (not sure I can do that with Wolfram knowledge base) But here is my main question: How do I copy or export the Map I create to another document so that the icon features are retained, i.e., hovering properties?

Thank you for taking the time to educate me on these things, Marco! I wonder if there is a list somewhere of which icons are available to search for using either Wolfram or Factual.

Thanks--that definitely helps and is another path I hadn't thought of (I really like the hovering feature too). I would still like to find a way with GeoGraphics since I want to generalize to other projects I have in mind from there.
