Customizing Google Maps - More House Hunting with Google
(Page 2 of 4 )
Although Cytadia uses only Google's maps and not their satellite imagery, Housing Maps (housingmaps.com) does allow users to view satellite imagery. Perhaps that will put this service at risk of receiving the next legal letter from Google. After clicking on a large city in the region you are house-hunting, the site uses a popup bubble to allow you to chose what you are looking for : For Rent, For Sale, Rooms, and Sublets. After that, the results page comes up, which looks like the one below. What's cool about this is that it displays all the houses in the area on the right side, and you can click either the sidebar listing or the pushpin on the map to see the results pop up. Yellow pins mean there are images for the listing; red ones mean it's just text.

The most noteable thing about the service is that it doesn't even have its own housing directory. The service basically connects the houses and apartments listed on craigslist.com and plugs them into Google Maps. The idea is so simple, yet so cool. Below is an image of the listings on a satellite map. Notice the options at the top, which can sort by city and price range.
