We’re using maps on Reveal Real Estate to help investors looking at individual real estate developments and property hotspots to see what’s nearby. After all, location is (nearly) everything in real estate.  Our maps plot the following information:

Introducing country maps

We’ve now gone one step further and built a series of country maps. The maps load with all the map markers showing, but you can select individual markers to display by choosing from the drop down menu.

In aggregate the map markers tell us a great deal about a country overall. Here are some examples of maps we like:

This map of real estate developments in Nicaragua shows how the majority of developments fall in the south western part of the country.  It’s the part of the country with the main tourism attractions, most dramatic geography and cooling lake breezes.

Check out Panama’s surf spots on the Panama map below.  The waves are not only on the Pacific, you can also find breaks on the Caribbean side of the country.

Have a look at golf courses on this Costa Rica map - completed, planned and under construction. You’ll find that Costa Rica has more completed golf courses than other Central American countries.

And yes, Belize is all about diving - check out the dive spots along the Great Barrier reef on the Belize map below. The barrier reef in Belize is the largest in the Western Hemisphere and a World Heritage Site. (You can load a map showing World Heritage sites as well).

Here are the links again: Belize map; Nicaragua map; Costa Rica map and Panama map

Have a play around and tell us what you find. If you would like to include one of these maps on your website or blog, then contact us and we’ll be pleased to forward you the embed code. We’ll keep a link list of all sites that embed our maps.

This is an ongoing project, we’re planning to add more markers and functionality. What map markers should we add? Hospitals? Community projects? You tell us.
