Google Maps Feature Shows New Use

We’ve all used Google Maps to get directions, but not long ago I discovered a new use for Google Maps in relation to my business. I created a map called “Definitely Dave’s Homes,” which shows all of the homes I have sold in the area. The sold homes are displayed with a red icon and those with a green icon are either on the market or have a contract pending. And, I’ve even sold some of these homes twice!


Like many Google products what I love about this map feature is its ease of use. Just click on one of the icon’s to see the address and exterior photo, plus if it is currently listed you will see the price and number of bedrooms and bathrooms too.

For those of you interested in creating an interactive map of any kind with photos, you can use Google’s Picasa software to house all your images then link to those in the map to display properly. It’s free and very user-friendly.
