Aerial Flyover Experience
Users now have access to a powerful new way to explore properties with the introduction of Aerial Flyover, available both when viewing parcels on the map and when exploring properties in the Media Gallery. This unified experience provides an immersive 3D aerial perspective that enhances spatial understanding, property evaluation, and neighborhood awareness.
What’s New
Aerial Flyover can now be launched in two key places where users view property and parcel information:
- From the Map:
When a user selects a parcel at parcel‑level zoom, an Aerial Flyover option becomes available in the parcel action bar. Selecting it opens a full‑screen 3D aerial view focused on the selected parcel and surrounding properties. - From the Media Gallery Map Tab:
When users open the Media Gallery from any supported entry point and navigate to the Map tab, they will now see an Aerial Flyover option in the modal header. Selecting it opens a full‑screen flyover centered on the listing property currently being viewed in the gallery.
In both locations, the flyover automatically plays once the 3D view loads, giving users an immediate sense of the property’s layout and environment.
Unified Experience Across Workflows
The Aerial Flyover experience is consistent no matter where it is launched. Users can expect:
- A full‑screen 3D aerial map focused on the parcel or listing property
- Automatic flyover animation with play and pause controls
- Zoom capability for closer inspection
- A guided view locked to the designated property area to prevent drifting into unrelated locations
- A clean, distraction‑free presentation that restores the previous map or gallery state when closed.
How Often 3D Maps Are Updated
Google’s 3D mapping data is refreshed on a rolling schedule, with update frequency varying significantly by region. Areas with high population density, rapid development, or strong user demand tend to receive newer 3D imagery sooner. This ensures that major cities and fast‑changing environments stay visually accurate while more remote regions update more slowly.
Below is the table reflecting typical 3D map update cycles:
| Region Type | Typical 3D Update Frequency |
| Major cities | About every one to three years |
| Suburban areas | About every three to five years |
| Rural and remote regions | Every five to ten or more years |
Listings Dashboard Search and Inventory Access
The Listings Dashboard now includes its own search bar at the top of the page.
The search bar is fixed in place and includes a Go button that stays disabled until text is entered.
Selecting Go takes the agent directly to the Inventory page and displays the matching listings.
The dashboard still includes Published and Unpublished buttons, now visually separated from the Go button. These buttons take the agent directly to the Inventory page with the correct filter chosen. When listings share the same address, the Published filter is selected by default.
On mobile, the search controls and the Published and Unpublished buttons are stacked for an easier layout.
Updated Inventory Experience
The new Inventory experience brings all listings together in one streamlined workspace designed to help agents work faster, stay organized, and move between tasks with ease. Agents can now view every published and unpublished listing in a single place, search instantly, and filter with new clarity across desktop and mobile.
A Unified Inventory Page
A new Inventory page replaces the separate Published and Unpublished pages. It displays all listings based on the agent’s ownership and permissions while allowing easy switching between published and unpublished views. The page title now reads Inventory.
Key improvements include:
- A cleaner layout with the new filter panel on desktop
- Search and filter tools placed directly on the page rather than in the top bar
- A fixed search bar for quick access at any time
- The Add Listing button available based on the agent’s permissions
Fast and Flexible Search
- A new always visible search bar sits at the top of the Inventory page.
- It supports searches for both published and unpublished listings based on the filter selected and behaves exactly like the existing search experience but now remains fixed even when scrolling.
- The search bar appears across all viewing modes including thumbnail and spreadsheet.
Find and Fix Listings with Poor Location Quality Faster
A new filter on the Inventory page makes it easy to identify published and unpublished listings with poor location quality so issues can be resolved quickly and confidently.
What is new
You can now filter published inventory to surface listings with low geocode accuracy. This makes it simpler to find listings that may need location validation and improve overall listing quality.
How it works
- A new filter called Poor Location Quality is available for Published and Unpublished listings
- Results include only published listings with a geocode quality score below 0.95
- Listings respect user ownership and add or edit permissions
- Results are automatically sorted by geocode quality, with the lowest scores shown first
- The Status filter is disabled while Poor Location Quality is selected to prevent conflicting results
Take action directly from your listings
After you have filtered your listings by Poor Location Quality, for listings where you have add or edit permissions, the listing thumbnail overflow menu includes access to the Validate Location workflow. This allows you to quickly correct location issues without leaving the Inventory experience. The workflow is available for both published and unpublished listings.
Why it matters
This enhancement helps you maintain higher quality listings, improve map accuracy, and resolve location issues faster, all with fewer clicks
Validate and Update Listing Map Locations
We’ve improved how you manage listing locations by making the Validate Location tool accessible whenever you need it—whether you’re updating an existing listing or creating a new one.
Validate Location on Any Listing
You can now open the Validate Location modal directly from the overflow menu on both published and unpublished listings pages.
- When opened from listing results, the modal includes a Save button.
- After saving, you’ll see: “Location updated.”
- You can still update the location even when there are validation issues in other fields.
Validate Location While Creating a Listing
The Validate Location option is also available while entering a new, unpublished listing.
- The modal uses the existing Apply button.
- After applying changes, you’ll see: “Changes applied. Save to retain.”
