About the map function

The Map function allows you to view property data geographically and apply location-based filters to your search. The map uses live Google Maps data which helps narrow results to specific regions or clusters. 

Before you begin

Select all other filters before enabling the map. This ensures the map zooms in on relevant areas. 
Example: If you filter by Owner or Appraised Properties, the map will center on those locations. Without filters, the map may appear zoomed out.

Use the map function

To use the map function:

• Go to: Properties
• Click Show Map at the top right of the screen
• Click and drag the map to your desired location
• Click the Draw a shape icon at the top right of the map

• Click on the map to start drawing and keep clicking until you close the shape by joining the first pin.
• Adjust the shape:
  • Use the Hand tool to scroll the map
  • Drag a midpoint pin to add extra segments
  • Select a shape and click Delete Shape to remove it

• Scroll down below the map to view properties filtered by your usual criteria and the area you drew

When multiple properties share the same location, they appear as a grey pin with a number.
