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 for the response..I am located in Tampa, and am a realtor. I have someone who is developing the site and having trouble getting access to the MLS data. I have the lisint info and login for the Mid Florida Regional MLS database but dont seem to know how to get access to the feed.

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.
