Location Map Settings

To update TOTAL's location map options:

1. From the Maps section of TOTAL's configuration options, scroll to the Location Map Settings section.
2. Mark the options to indicate the types of maps and data you want TOTAL to retrieve whenever you download a map. Options include:
   • Get location map — Mark this option if you want TOTAL to retrieve a location map. You must have a valid support contract to download location maps.
     • Center map on subject — Orients the location map with the subject property at the center of the map.
     • Transfer proximities into forms — Automatically transfers distances from the subject address into the appropriate fields on your forms.
     • Transfer all data to my forms in uppercase — Automatically transfers all text in uppercase to the appropriate fields
   • Get FEMA, census, and USPS information — Automatically inserts flood, census tract and USPS standardization into your reports.
   • Get FEMA flood map — Mark this option if you want TOTAL to retrieve a flood map. You must have an active InterFlood subscription to download flood maps. Refer to the Flood Map Settings section for information about configuring your InterFlood account.
   • Display property details — Mark this option if you want to provide exact GPS coordinates for each property, verify the address of your properties before downloading location maps, or change the list of properties that should appear on your map.
   • Automatically use these settings when getting a map — By default, TOTAL prompts you to select your map settings every time you retrieve a map. By marking this option, it automatically uses the settings you specify for every future map without prompting you.
3. Mark the Property placement options to indicate which property types you want to include on your maps. Options include:
   • Place comps
   • Place rentals
   • Place listings
4. Mark the Balloon options to indicate how you want TOTAL to display property balloons on your maps. Options include:
   • Display image thumbnails in balloons — Mark this option to include a small copy of the properties "front" photo in the property balloon marker.
   • Display proximity from subject — Mark this option to show each property's distance from your report's subject property inside its property balloon.
   • Display in blocks instead of miles — Mark this option if you want to display each property's distance (in blocks) from the subject inside its property balloon. Be sure to indicate how many blocks make a mile in your area AND when to switch from using blocks to using miles.

     This option cannot be enabled for UAD reports.

   • Display direction from subject (NW, SE) — Mark this option if you want to display the direction each property is with regard to the subject property in your report inside its property balloon.
   • Display city, state, and ZIP — Mark this option to display the city, state, and zip code of each property in its property balloon.
