294,418 of 465,929 named businesses on the map in 84 cities across 11 countries list no website (63%); 67% list no phone number and 68% no opening hours. Broken down by 58 kinds of business and by city; the single biggest gap is restaurants in Paris (5,825 of 8,969). "No website listed" means the map record has no website tag, not that the business has no website.
