When we we did a feature survey a while back, the most common requested feature was the map based search interface. Now, we are happy to announce that we have released version 1 of our map based listings search interface.
The new map search allows users to view listings visually on a map, so users can get a sense of proximity of listings to locations. It is very effective when looking up listings close to a point of interest. Please note, that listings will only show up on the map if they have valid addresses that can be geocoded by Google.
You will see a new View dropdown in Listings page. Selecting the Map View will bring you to the new Map Search page. While on the map search, notice the “Jump To Address” field? Entering a valid address in this field will center the map to that address.
As with any new feature, we are planning on improving it often based on your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to give us your opinions.
