IE8 will mean maps become integrated to property.
One of the most interesting areas of property online is the mapping functionality. If you’re looking for places to buy or let, you always want to see the location on a map. This gives you a basis for where the property is located in relation to transport, greenery, schools and anything else that the map provider provided. With the launch of Internet Explorer 8, the mapping will be part of the user experience. This means that when the browser detects an address on any web-page, it will attempt to map the address automatically. 
This small innovation should begin to put an end to one of the most inefficient processes on the internet - having to always go to a map site, type in the address, and look at the map. This should provide more innovation opportunities for everyone, including agents, the property software guys and the portals.
