Local Maps SDK FAQ

What is Local Maps?

Local Maps is a map-based search tool that allows users to select the location characteristics that matter to them and see the locations that fit their needs, represented by a heatmap overlay.

By selecting their lifestyle preferences in the menu box, the user will instantaneously see a map over-lay appear highlighting the characteristics of each location in over 140 areas in the US and Canada.

Is the Local Schools overlay included in the price of Local Maps?

Are Local Maps and Local Search the same thing?

No, they are separate product offerings.

Local Maps allows users to select the location characteristics that matter to them and see the locations that fit their needs, and is represented by a heatmap overlay (see image below).

Local Lifestyle Search adds the characteristic selection menu to a list of listings and assigned each listing a score to indicate how closely it matches the end-user's selected criteria (see image below).

What do the colors on the heat map mean?

The color scale ranges from green (the highest/best) to red (the lowest/worst).
