One of the most common features added to our single property Websites is a map showing the exact location of the home and you have four services to choose from:
To change the mapping service simply:
1. Login into your account:
2. Select the single property Website:
3. Click ‘Mapping and Email Settings’:
4. Select the mapping service you want:
5. Click ‘save’:
And you are done! As always let us know if you have any questions.
If you’ve ever used MapQuest you’ll understand just how good Google Maps is. I think the name ‘MapQuest’ is either (tragically) ironic or a secret joke – following their maps really is like a quest.
The last time I used their service it took me two hours to travel to somewhere an hour away. I saw some beautiful homes, picturesque towns and countless fields which was great but I was late for my appointment. As a result I switched to Google Maps and have never looked back (sorry, couldn’t resist that!)
But Google Maps has its own problems, specifically Street View. As you may or may not know Google has vehicles travelling every road photographing a world view from the street, hence the name. But things happen ‘down on the street’ (just ask Shakatak) and innocent passersby are sometimes caught at inopportune moments. These are just a few, I have dozens more so let me know if you want to see them. Enjoy 🙂

Online mapping options (normally powered by Google Maps) continue to amaze me and I just found another fun example on ubasics.com.
As a child my dad always said that if I dug a hole in our yard I would eventually reach Australia. It seems he was wrong. Take a look at this simple but entertaining use of Google Maps to see the other side of the world from any starting place. It seems the opposite of my home town (Harlow, Essex) is South-East of New Zealand. If I had followed my dad’s advice I would have got very wet! To see the opposite side of the world from any starting place click here or click on the map image above. Enjoy 🙂
