Google Maps Address Lookup

Posted on April 27, 2017
Google maps is great for looking up property addresses. RentHQ already uses Google maps for displaying the location of a property on a map.  However the accuracy of the map is dependent on the accuracy of the address information entered into RentHQ. Now RentHQ will do an automatic google maps address lookup when entering or changing property addresses.  RentHQ will show a list of address lookup matches, and you can choose to select one of those addresses to help populate the rest of the address information. You can choose to ignore the google maps address if a match can not be found, for example if this is a new property address that google maps does not know about. Note - this works better and faster with the Windows 10 app version of RentHQ.  The app version would therefore be better of doing a lot of data entry.
