14 DAY TRIAL // Google Maps and Google Earth are two of the Mountain View company products that can provide users with a number of useful tools, meant to solve their everyday problems. Since its release in early 2005, Google Maps has received some important new features and upgrades. At this point in time, Google Maps can be used to locate almost anything of significant importance. And because the guys at Google never rest when it comes to improving the quality of their products, Google Maps has recently received a new feature.
If you are planning to relocate and you find it difficult to search for an appropriate place where you and your family can reside, Google Maps might just make your day brighter. Yesterday, Google Maps was announced to have received an upgrade which will provide users with information about real estate. Searching through Google Maps search engine will now give users information regarding the location of any building or real estate available for sale.
Details on the searched real estate includes price, number of rooms, photos and webpage, where users can find more details regarding the property in which they take interest. Google is not directly involved the real estate business, it only provides professional companies a platform for presenting the offers. A number of real estate companies have recently updated their websites with Google Maps' Street View feature, which ultimately provides users with a better understanding of their future-to-be home.
When you want to search something on the Google Maps search engine, you will have to press "Show search options", which enables you to restrict the search results to just real estate. At the moment, the feature is available only to US users.
Adding new features to Google Maps in order to enhance the users' search experience is just another confirmation that Google is continuously trying to improve its products.
