Add To Trip Planner
Please Wait, Adding Listing...
Real Estate Trip Planner is a tool that can help plan the best trip to find your next home. It consists of three major components. Trip Planner is an application that will plan the optimal (shortest) trip between multiple destinations. These destinations can come from the addresses of properties on MLS Listings, or can be manually entered. The second component is GeoPicture. With GeoPicture, photos can be taken or image files that were created from any device such as any cellphone (Apple or Android), any tablet, laptop, or any webcam, can be uploaded and the precise location of where these photos were taken is automatically retrieved. This exact location can also be manually entered on the GeoPicture page. Also, comments to be associated with the photo can be added. These photos can be saved and later displayed with the third component, GeoBook.

Screenshots of GeoPicture:
GeoPicture can also upload image files from any device, both IPhone and Android, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, and the exact address/location of where these pictures were taken will be automatically associated to that image and will be saved to the database, as shown below:
GeoBook can be used to filter, geolocate, and display the photos taken with GeoPicture. Photos can be filtered by city, state, postalcode, and date taken. The photos can also be mapped and icons with thumbnails and comments associated with that GeoPicture can be created. The GeoBook map can be used to not only see the locations of where GeoPictures were taken, but a boundary tool can also be used to create a border on the map within which GeoPictures can be filtered.
