Google has added a great deal of capability to their Google Maps application that includes the ability to see property listings pulled from it’s Google Base, Wikipedia entries, and other sources.
The other big thing I have been able to gather is that it has added flash capability to Google Maps. The ability to embed maps that are “mashed up” with your information should be a huge help for real estate agents that are web savvy.
If you’re looking for a home in a certain location, you have a new search option: Google maps. Enter an address and click on the “show search options” link, which is right next to the “Search Maps” button. You can set whatever limits you want on size, price and other variables.
Another improvement to Google Maps adds geo-tagged photos and Wikipedia entries that are associated with specific locations. To see these, click on the “more” button on the map — it’s right next to the “traffic” button. via The Dallas Morning News.
