Get the Most Out of the New LoopNet Map Search

The next time you run a LoopNet search, look at the top right corner of the search results page (make sure you're logged in). You'll see a mini map there that allows you to zoom in or pan around to search a specific area. Note that the map search is only available to Premium Members when searching For Sale and all members when searching For Lease.

To see a larger map, click Expand Map.

While we don't have polygon search yet, here's a trick. Hold down the ALT key on your keyboard and click your mouse down to draw a rectangle on the map then let go of the mouse. LoopNet will instantly zoom in and search that area.

And don't forget to check out the Bird's Eye view. Just toggle to it from the controls at the top left corner of the map.

There's more to come. We realize the map search is not perfect. We're working to make it better. Keep the feedback coming!

The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition. It’s perfect thought from my side.

Nice! I noticed this the other day when looking at lease properties. I thought it was something new, good feature.

The bird's eye view is really cool. Also, you say, "While we don't have polygon search yet..." I'm assuming that you guys are working on that feature?

This zoom in feature is awesome. Is this something you have ever considered offering as an imbedded program for other real estate sites?

Justin,

Nice addition. The more interactive the mapping against the database...the better. Keep making the product improvments!

Thanks

Thank you for such a fantastic blog. Where else could anyone get this kind of information written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such info.

The map feature is really nice to use. They say a pictures is worth a thousand words, and this makes it easy to see what you are doing. This search features allows us to save time and really target the areas that we desire.
