Driving directions in connectMLS

After performing your search, view the listings in the List View (single line report) and use the checkboxes on the left side of the screen to select the desired listings. 

Click the  icon in the upper right corner of the screen:

There are two types of driving directions: Google Driving Directions and connectMLS Driving Directions:

Selecting Google Driving Directions opens the following popup window:

1. Choose whether you want directions to just those listings you selected or all your original search results.
2. Select your starting location. connectMLS automatically pulls your home and office address information directly from your membership record, allowing you to easily start your directions from either location. You can also manually enter a different starting point by choosing Other.
3. The Destinations section shows you the properties for which you will generate driving directions.
4. Click Get Directions when you are ready to proceed.
   
   

Google Maps will then open in a new browser tab and connectMLS will attempt to put the properties in the most logical order:

If you want to change the order that connectMLS puts them in, go to the section in the top left corner that lists the properties, place your mouse cursor in front of the listing you want to move and drag it up/down as desired:

If there are any properties you would like to remove from the list, hover over the right side of the address and you will get an option to remove it:

Use the Add destination button at the bottom of the list to manually add another property that was not among your original search results.  

Click Options if you want to avoid highways, tolls or ferries, or if you would like to switch between miles and kilometers.

Click Details (toward the bottom of the left-hand column) to view the turn-by-turn directions (including distance) and time frames:

Once the driving directions display, you have the option to send them to your phone, share them or print them out:

*****************

If you click connectMLS Driving Directions, a new window pops up on top of the Connect screen:

The steps on the left side of the window provide many of the features that are present with the Google Driving Directions:

You can set a staring point, reorder the properties, get turn-by-turn directions and more.

You can also include once agent-facing and/or one client-facing report to accompany each property (the reports will be collated when you print/email the driving directions).
