This Rightmove / Google Maps mashup adds links to the Rightmove search results and property pages, as highlighted in the red circles below.
The markers are displayed on the map using the "Get Directions" feature, enabling them all to be displayed using a single URL. Each property is identified by a letter ([A], [B] etc.), displayed to the right of each location descriptor in the results.
For an individual property page, the postcode is looked up from the latitude and longitude via a call to www.upmystreet.com. In some cases this may take a bit of time. The postcode is then added to the property description at the top of the page (e.g. "Old Newbridge Hill, BATH, BA1 1AB"). Some informal testing has shown these postcodes to be generally very accurate but of course there may be exceptions.
Once the postcode has been found, further "Useful Links" relating to it are added to the pane on the right of the screen. More information about the information provided by these websites is in the Free House Price Valuations MoneySavingExpert article.
Note: The links only appear on each page once it has fully loaded and all map locations have been loaded. In some case this may take a bit of time.
