Craigslist listings on map

However, especially when searching for apartments, not being able to view all the results on a map has always been an annoyance. I recently relocated to San Francisco and had first hand experience with the current real estate nightmare: everything is super expensive and scarse. One of the guys showing the houses on open days also told me that on average any apartment doesn't stay empty more than 3 days. Simply incredible...
This forced me to check Craigslist every day... almost every hour in order to be the first to respond when a new listing appeared. I even started making my own app (Apartment Hunter) although then I set aside specifically for the legally issues that were arising for people using Craigslist's data (you can read more here).
Now this is not an issue anymore (I'm happy I didn't spend too much time on that app!). Craigslist just added a map feature to their website. Obviously it's 100% Craigslist style: ugly and barebones (especially compared to PadMapper) but it surely does its job. You can check it out here or find more details here.
