Map Maker
Map Maker allows maps to be created when you have one or more property addresses that you want to locate on the map. The property address, city, zip code, county, and map grid location may all be entered to help locate the property locations or you can enter just the property address and let MapPro find the rest of the information. MapPro will help you find the exact location of the property and help resolve spelling errors or a missing prefix or suffix in the street name and zip code differences. When maps are displayed, they are dynamically scaled and centered so all the property locations entered will be displayed. Property locations may marked with your choice of arrows or one of dozens of different icons. Below is partial list on some of the other major features of Map Maker:
- Unlimited number of property locations can be put a map.
- Manually place a property location (arrow or icon) without entering an address.
- Rotate arrows or move property locations correct placement errors.
- Add property locations from your own private database.
