Cyndy,

I have received many requests for increasing the Title field so more text can used.

I am looking into ways to make that possible.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Fabulous new tool! I work for a Real Estate Agent that sells primarily new homes in large developments. He currently has 5 developments going. I am trying to adapt it to work with that. IE: photo is the development logo, address is a nearby corner (new development addresses don’t map right), leaving BR’s & BR’s blank and text says “3&4BR Homes”

It would be wonderful if the “Title/Text” area was capable of holding more text characters.

Any other ideas how it can be used for new developments?

All in all, it’s fabulous. When I get it working right, I’ll add it to his web site and post a link for you, it’s not there yet.

Thanks SO much!

Very nice! I’m having a little trouble getting it to work on my Point 2 Agent website, but it appears to be a P2, not MapVine, problem.

One thing that would be a *great* addition (for me) is if you could input geo-coordinates if you don’t have a property address. What property doesn’t have an address you ask? Many land parcels… I have coordinates for them, but the addresses are like XXX5 N. Galvin and Google maps can’t resolve addresses like that. If I had an option to enter coordinates in lieu of an address, it would be magical!

Great work… (and thanks to Maureen for the tip!)

Thanks everyone for the comments.

We got some nice press today on the Dailysearchcast with Danny Sullivan here: http://dailysearchcast.com/061010-143933.html if you want to listen to the show. Danny could not remember my last name but that is ok.

Dave,

Very cool and intuitive. I love this mapping feature and I am confident Property Managers and agents will use it too. Best of all, its free! Keep on innovating…
