LeisureVision Points is a competitively price dataset of over 250,000+ leisure locations across the UK. Points is a comprehensive dataset of locations across 4 product types including Food & Beverage (F&B), Entertainment, Competitive Socialising and Sport & Fitness. Each Point is also assigned to one of over 100+ categories. The attributes associated with each point are: Name, Brand, Location, Product & Category.

GMAP Reporting in Practice

1. The Used Car Report Dashboard Tool
The Used Car Report is just one example of how GMAP have built a dashboard to inform client decisions.

The Used Car Report is a Reporting Dashboard solution we have created at GMAP, which combines DVLA transaction data with client sales data. This can be used to assess how your Dealer Network is performing against the territory market and can inform vehicle stocking profiles. 

Data can be viewed as charts, tables, or maps depending on your requirement. Within the Used Car Report you can filter, sort, and interact with the data to quickly analyse performance:  
  • Geographically by Territory, Post Sector and Drive Time
  • By Vehicle Segment
  • By Propulsion (e.g. BEV vs. ICE)
  • By Transaction Type
  • By Make and Model
  • Temporally and Year-on-Year
Watch the video below to see an example of the Used Car Report brought to life and see an example of what GMAP’s Reporting Dashboards offering could look like to you. 


With the turbulent changes in the automotive industry in recent years, and turn towards Electric Vehicles, the DVLA dataset and Used Car Report is more important than ever.
