Sign into your accountHidden Features: 3 Google Maps Tricks Agents Should Know
April 26 2017
Google Maps is a free tool with a lot of neat features that real estate agents can appreciate. While we've talked about ways that agents can leverage Google Maps in the past, the program has advanced leaps and bounds since then.
Did you know Google Maps offers a personal safety app now? Neither did we. And that's just one example—there's a lot more where that came from.
Here's a look at the latest Google Map features you may not have heard of just yet:
1. 'Trusted Contacts' Safety App
This app popped on the scene in December. It taps into your phone's GPS capabilities to notify your emergency contacts when you're in danger and share your location with them. It also lets trusted contacts 'walk you home' in threatening situations—they can speak with you while monitoring your GPS location on a map. Select people can even monitor your location on Google Maps, and request a safety status check if worried.
Trusted Contacts is currently available for Android. An iOS version is coming soon; sign up here to be notified of its release.
