i built a little app with google maps api and it was a pleasure to work with [google]

yes, we're [still] looking for a new place. in the meantime i built a little app that scrapes the 'new listing' web pages our realtor sends us and plots all the listings a google map with pictures and addresses and stuff. i'd link to it, but it's brutal slow to do the geocode lookups, so it's not really worth it. here's a screenshot using test data.

    Dude! I said like 2 days ago that someone needs to do this and here's your post about it (probably from just about the exact time I said it out loud).... now if I could do this out here in Park City....

    I assume the big real estate agencies aren't doing it yet because google doesn't want them to. The api doco specifically asks that you limit your mapping requests to like 50k/day or something, which I gotta believe most big agencies would easily exceed.
