newconsearch.com: A Great Example of Context through mapicons
newconsearch.com provides a great example of how our mapicons are a true visualization aid for map mashups.
newconsearch.com provides a map mashup that allows Florida real estate agents to find pre-construction, new construction, condo conversions and hotel condos. newconsearch.com utilizes our mapicons to provide valuable context for users by displaying differently colored house icons and differently sized bubble icons. With our mapicons, newconsearch.com has enabled users to quickly visualize information on the map, rather than having to click on each marker to find out a classification (such as house, condo, or land). Now that's what we call context!
How can something so small and simple as mapicons be so effective? Consider this: try to imagine what this map mashup would look like if it used only one kind of icon to represent the various types of real estate offerings. How would you be able to tell what type of real estate listings are available?
We're always happy when we see great examples like newconsearch.com, which show just how effective our "curious little" mapicons really are.
