Earthpoint real estate mashup shows property lines - Here's a new Google Maps Real Estate Mashup for the area around Boise, Idaho. This is a meticulous mashup with a lot of time spent on the interface and the options available to the user. The geo developer behind Earthpoint mentions that "what sets Earth Point apart from other sites is that each property is mapped with roof-top accuracy and the property lines are drawn. This is because Earth Point does not use Google'’s geo-coding. Rather, I use the local government'’s ESRI shape files to accurately locate and draw each property." It's actually a feature I haven't before seen when reviewing real estate mashups. Mouse over the listings (zoomed in) to see the property outlines appear. Google Earth viewing is also available.
