Real estate gains easy access to aerial maps

RealBird today announced the release of its Application Integration Interface Version 1.0 for its online mapping service for real estate applications. The API makes it easy to integrate RealBird’s aerial and street maps with any online real estate service.

RealBird also announced a new sponsored mapping service, free to its partner companies, which will share a substantial portion of advertising revenue with them.

The RealBird Viewer is a unique personalized geographical information systems and mapping tool for real estate agents, with U.S. continental coverage. Agents can add the RealBird Viewer to their Web sites, link to or from any number of listings, and display local schools, landmarks and parcel lines as overlays on aerial maps. County demographics information can be also displayed with one click.

“This new API makes our service very easy to integrate with an existing IDX, VOW, or MLS service,” said Gabriel Gross, founder and president of RealBird, in a statement.
