Just a short while after Craigslisteffectively killed PadMapperby asserting copyright over its listing data , Craigslist seems to be in the cognitive operation of set up a near identical service . Certain Craigslist real estate listings arenow showing implant mapsfrom OpenStreetMap . Finally !
sing Points Memoreportsthat embedded maps have been observed in San Francisco and Portland . Indeed , we were able-bodied to find theabove San Francisco listingwith a single-valued function in less than a moment . It appears that all the system ask to insert a mapping is an address . slowly , just the elbow room it should be .
We make out to Craigslist for comment on where the avail might show up next and if it would be expanded to a more comprehensive single-valued function like what PadMapper offers . One interesting detail to observe is that though Craigslist radio link to Google Maps and Yahoo Maps , it ’s using a loose , exposed source alternative for its actual itemisation .
Does this mean no more jumping to an outside service to see where your maybe next flat is located ? It ’s too other to make love for sure . This could be just an experiment , but it sure is nice to see that this crucial slice of information right there the itemisation where it belongs . [ TPM ]
