You can display a street map for any individual listing. The listing is plotted on a map next to existing schools, hospitals, and other points of interest. (Additional street map functions are available for Mapping Listing Search Results.)
A marker flags the location of the listing on the map. The color of the marker indicates the listing status (e.g., available, sold). See the legend below the map. Details display at the right side of the page. You can click on the listing marker to return to the listing report.
Adjust the view of the street map using the zoom buttons; see below.
NOTE: Certain listings cannot be geocoded, and therefore will not display on the street map. If any of the following fields are incorrect or missing: address, municipality, province, postal code; or the street name or number doesn't exist in the database (it may be a new house on an old street or a brand new street) the listing may not display on the map. The MLS# is displayed at the right under the heading "Could not be located". Click on any MLS# in this list to display the listing detail view; click on the MLS# at the detail view to display the listing.
The legend below the map defines the most common map markers. Click Full Legend to display a comprehensive list of markers and other map information.
You can opt to perform a Radius Search from the centre-point of the displayed map. Alternatively, you can save the Street Map for use in a subsequent Radius Search. You can only save one map at a time. When you opt to save a map any previously saved map is overwritten.
Using Zoom and Direction Buttons
The white (lightened) button indicates the current zoom setting. The mapping system uses three maps, of varying detail, and applies three zoom levels at each map. The map zoom control includes nine buttons; three for each of the three levels of detail:
Zoom Levels |
Map Used |
Map Details |
.8 km, 1.6 km, 3 km |
1:25,000 ratio map |
The most detailed; shows all roads, side streets, legend markers. Most maps in the MapArt book display at this ratio level. |
6 km, 12 km, 25 km |
1:250,000 ratio map |
Shows major roads with fewer side streets and legend markers. |
50 km, 100 km, 200 km |
1:750,000 ratio map |
Shows municipalities, areas, and highways. |
You can also use the direction buttons (labeled North, East, South, West) to adjust the map view. Click on a direction button to shift the map in the chosen direction.
