"Google has been steadily upgrading its Maps, seemingly adding a new feature here and there every couple of weeks. It's not always global, though. For example, they've just added real estate search to Maps in Australia. \nIt's a sign of the things to come, as this real estate search seems as good (or better) as any you've seen on various real estate sites out there. Go to Google.com.au and type in a search query such as real estate Sydney. You'll get all of the properties in the area, with options to further refine your search to include properties that are for rent or for sale, set a price range, the desired number of bedrooms and bathrooms and so forth. \n\nOf course, other nifty Google Maps features can help you decide. For example, with Street View you can look at most properties up close and Google Transit can show you public transportation to and from the property. Putting all of that together makes for a very powerful real estate search engine, and it shows how much untapped potential Google Maps have. \nCheck out an introductory video below:\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
