As I am interested in the real estate market, I frequently
use the website Zillow to research new houses that are for sale. During this
past weekend, I was looking through the website and realized that Zillow uses
the different perspectives discussed in class to accurately provide views of
pieces of property. The website primarily uses the Planimetric view, but also
allows users to look at a house with a Bird’s Eye view and a Profile view. All of these views are very important to
Zillow, because they allow a person to see the many different perspectives of a
home. This allows potential buyers to make informed decisions regarding whether
or not they want to purchase a piece of property.
Wow , that's a great connection. I've been on that website before and never really saw it from that perspective until now. Being in this class have made us realize how important and prevalent maps are in today's society.
ReplyDeleteSince most of us have to sign our leases for next year, I've been looking at Zillow on the daily. I find all of its features very useful, especially the one that allows you to look at how close certain houses and apartments are to campus.
