Mapping Listing Search Results

From the Search Results List, you can display any property on a street map. You can map one, several, or all properties. The results appear plotted on a map next to existing schools, hospitals, and other points of interest.

A marker flags the location of the listings on the map. The color of the marker indicates the listing status (e.g., available, sold). See the legend below the map. You can click on any marker to view the corresponding broker report, or move your mouse over it to view listing details in the right-hand panel. You can print the map along with listing details for any mapped property.

Adjust the view of the street map using the zoom buttons. (See “Using Zoom and Direction Buttons”, below.)

Listing markers may overlap at certain zoom levels. Markers always overlap if the properties have identical map coordinates (e.g., condo units). TMLS lists overlapped listings at the bottom of the right-hand panel. Tip: Click to center the cross hairs near overlapped markers, then choose a closer zoom level.

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 Mapped Search Results

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.
