Very nice. I was told by some a buyer to check out some Cville dude’s new mapping thing. So they loved it. Good job.

I’m considering adding mapping. Dunno.

Just added StreetView and MS aerial

Jim – this looks like fun! I just did a quick search (we’re getting ready to buy/build) and I see that homes in Old Trail Village are “unmappable”. I ran into this problem in GOOGLE maps when making a custom map for family members to get to our home for a housewarming party…but there’s a weird glitch -

Old Trail Village streets USED to be in Google Maps, but then about a month or so ago, they disappeared and everything that I had entered became scrambled.

Any idea how Google gets their maps and makes changes? How do we get back the streets that were once included?

Thanks, Jim Whatley. It’ll be interesting to see its adoption rate over the next few weeks and months.

I believe in giving the consumers – buyers, sellers, voyeurs – what they want and they’ll come to trust me for doing so.

Thanks JamesHuron – I’ve sent it on to the developers. I spot-checked a few, and you are correct.

I expect that these will keep coming up – it’s only been a few days since they released this new version.

In response to the offline comment about some properties being mis-mapped –
They’re working on that, too.

Like the search tool!

But…I noticed that quite a few of the “days on market” say “68.” I was searching C’ville City/County and saw a lot of properties that had this particular number, even tho I ran into a couple that have been on for nearly a year….Just a glitch?
