October 12, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Superior, Colorado - RentVine - mapVine allows web site owners to quickly create a map using Google™ Maps technology for their web site with little or no programming knowledge. The map can be populated with up to 50 properties to help site visitors quickly understand where the site owner's properties are located.

mapVine is intended for residential and commercial properties for rent or for sale but can be used to showcase other types of properties such as a chain of dry cleaners or restaurants within your metro area. The tool can be used anywhere in the United States by giving you the option to center and zoom the map to a default location that best suits your needs. "We continue to work hard creating services and tools for property managers to help them receive quality leads from potential tenants. We are excited to see what users can do with this free mapping tool," said RentVine owner and founder Dave Dugdale.

mapVine purpose is to generate leads and direct traffic efficiently. For each property on the map, a bubble will appear with information about the property when clicked upon. Within that bubble you can link to any page you choose, giving you the power to direct traffic where you choose. Real estate agents that are under the same "corporate umbrella" (ReMax, for example) as several other agents, can have leads directed to their own site property pages.

How does it work? After you create an account you (a) select the metro area where your properties are located, (b) input your properties within the system, and then (c) simply copy the code provided into your web site where you want the map to appear. You can optionally customize your map by (a) choosing the type of map you wish to display as your default (street, hybrid or satellite), and (b) choosing the map size.
