Appraisal Location Map Addendum
Frequently Asked Questions

Take a look at our sample appraisal map before you read this.


-How difficult is it to place the Subject and Comparable arrows?
If you have purchased your forms software from one of our Appraisal Resellers, then the data from the form flows into GeoLocator and the Subject and Comparable properties are automatically labeld with arrows that can be rotated or repositioned to suit your needs.

- Is this the best resolution that can be displayed or printed?
The map shown was created in Low Resolution GIF format for viewing on the Web (100 dots-per-inch). We are trying to keep the Web download time to a minimum.   The GIF file took about 20 seconds to display and is 50,000 bytes long.  When installed on your PC, GeoLocator will generate maps at the resolution of your printer (300+ dots-per-inch).   When exporting maps to your appraisal forms software, you can control the resolution of the image that is inserted into your Location Map Addendum.

- Can arrows be placed manually?
Yes!  Arrows are completely under your control.  You can add new arrows to the map, rotate an arrow, change the type of arrow, and you can put any text into or under the arrow, for example "Sale 1", or "Rental1".

- Are the schools icons standard on all the county map data?
No, but you can add your own schools, hospitals, and other points of interest as landmarks on the map.  You have complete control of what kind of landmarks you want to place and where to put them.  Once placed, these landmarks remain so that when the map is reopened, the landmarks are redisplayed.  The landmark layer can be turned on or off as needed.

- I see that the legend at the bottom of the map is in an appraisal comp summary, can this be changed?
Yes!  There are several legend formats that are standard in GeoLocator: one for MLS property listings, one for appraisals, and two for CMA's.

- Can the header information be edited?
Yes! The fields in the header at the top of the page can be edited or even turned off altogether.
