Google Maps to Include Australian Real Estate

The applications for Google Maps continues to become more impressive and useful:

GOOGLE has added a real estate search to its Google Maps application in Australia – letting users quickly check out a property’s “location, location, location” online.

The search covers buying and renting and lets users filter properties by type, price, location and real estate agent.

The properties are then displayed on the map, which automatically updates with relevant listings when panned or zoomed to another suburb or when the criteria is changed.

Clicking on a marker or a small circle provides more information about the listing, as well as the contact details of the listing agent and a link to their website.  [News.com]
