    Florida? You mean the FAR?

    I have a couple of questions

    First - what "board" do you service or more importantly what area do you work in (City not state) the FAR has a lot of consolidated feeds, I need to know what specific area feed you are dealing with

    Second - are you dealing with a RAW datafeed?

    Third - are you an agent / broker

    Fourth - what is your website?

    In terms of "is this possible" yes it is, we have google mapped the IDX / MLS data for almost the entire state of florida for multiple clients in florida. Example http://www.thesarasotamls.com/gmap.php

    Thanks again for your assistance

    http://www.tampahomes24-7.com/idx/map/ click "update map" is that what you are trying to accomplish? Or are you saying you haven't even been able to download the data yet?

    We create a simple chron script in php to download the data into a mysql database each night, when I say "simple" I mean simple for a programmer - is your designer not a programmer? If not then they might have some problems with this - we would be happy to assist you if you need some third party support to set up the data into your database as long as you are on a linux / php server.
