New Google Maps Mashup on roomsDB.net: Find On Map!

Hello world!

I’m happy to announce another clever feature on roomsDB.net! With this new feature, all offers that are online at the moment will be displayed on a big map of Singapore. But that’s not all…

To get to this new feature, click on this new link on the read offers page, here marked by the red arrow:

When you clicked on it, you will first see the whole map of Singapore with lots of red markers. Those red markers are the exact location of the room/apartment offers on roomsDB.net!

Quite crowded there, don’t you think? However, to find out more about the offers, you just have to click on the red markers and an info window will appear to give you some information of the offer. You can also directly click through to the actual details page of the offer.

But now whats really nice: just enter any Singaporean address in the textfield and click on “Go!”. This address could for example be the location of your new office in Singapore, or that university that you will go to soon. The address will automatically be shown on the map and of course all the offers close to it! You can directly find a room or an apartment close to a certain place, with ease! Check the outcome after I entered “Bukit Batok MRT”:

So I am very sure that this new feature will prove to be very useful for all room hunters out there! If you have any more ideas or comments, I would be very happy to hear about them!

Bye, Sebastian
