A new mapping tool that just hit the web is Ask.com’s Mapping Tool. I’ve started to play with it a bit, but it seems to be a bit sluggish. Perhaps this is due to the mass hysteria that surrounds new software on it’s premier. None the less, this new mapping service is utilizing the AJAX standard, making the user interface intuitive and user friendly.
I particularly like that you can actually map more than one property and create a sort of “route plan”. Agents, this would be particularly useful to you when planning buyer tours. You can simply plug in the properties to be viewed and plot your course. Say goodbye to keymaps!
