Free property interactive mapping tool coming

We are working on a free property mapping tool that gives property companies (rental property managers, real estate agents etc.) an easy way display all their properties on a single map located on their site without knowing any complicated web site coding. Interactive maps seem to be everywhere on the web now, it just seems natural to provide one for property web sites. I did some checking out there and there appears to be several paid mapping tools and one free one. The free one I found however does not appear to be that easy to use.

Of course the advantage of having a map like this on your site is a way for your visitors to easily see the relationship of where each property is in relation to the other.

We are creating this tool for the smaller property companies that might have just a few properties to about 50 properties that they want to display. It might work for more than 50 (maybe 100) but I am a little considered about how long it might take for the full map to load.

We are still in the earlier stages of development for this tool so we would like to put the idea out there in the hope that readers like yourself can help shape this tool with your comments into something you will find of value.

How will it work? Basically you will create an account and log in. From there will be able to add one property at a time including its address, a photo, price to rent or buy, a caption for the photo, number of beds and baths, and a link.

After you add the first property you will see it appear on the map, when you click or hover over the dot on the map you will see its information including a small photo of the property. Then you add the next property and so on.

The link is for more information on the property, so if you have a page on your site built for that property you can link to it from the map. If you have a property listed on RentVine you could also link to that as well. The important thing to remember is you do not have to pay for a listing to use this free tool (we would love you to but it is not required).

Once you have all your properties listed you then copy a block of code and place it on your site where ever you want the map to be displayed. Then every time that your page loads the map with all your properties will display.
