Nestoria Blog

Dearest Nestolonians,

As you’ll recall, a few weeks ago we had the honour of being the only start up invited to speak at Google’s London Developer day.

It was at that event that Google announced the beta launch of Google Mapplets, a way for external developers to build a simple tool to allow any user of the Google maps website to overlay datasets onto the map. It’s very similar in concept to the local content (schools, pubs, transport options, etc) that Nestoria users can overlay on the map on a Nestoria property search results page.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve now rolled out our own Google mapplets (one for the UK and one for Spain). You can add the UK mapplet here, and then use it by surfing to http://maps.google.co.uk/preview.

Here’s a screenshot:

Please give it a try, and let us know what you think, either via our feedback form or our Facebook group.

Keep in mind that this is still a beta product that Google is testing, but it’s nevertheless another great example of the impressive innovation going on in online mapping. For Nestoria it’s yet another way to help you find a property to buy or rent as easily as possible.

Sick of mapplets and apps? No worries my friend, we have many other search tools you can use to find your next home.

Good luck!
