ZoomProspector’s Community Network
ZoomProspector is a network of communities that place their unique information on one website. The information comes from the communities and ZoomProspector’s technology helps you to find it.
The ZoomProspector community of users is an actual community in the most literal sense of the word. Cities, counties and states have placed their information on ZoomProspector to showcase their community’s value, properties, people and economic advantages to businesses.After being “discovered” on ZoomProspector, the community benefits from the new jobs the businesses create. The audience of businesses benefits from locating its companies in the right types of communities to succeed and grow.
In some ways ZoomProspector is like the video communities on YouTube, Google Video, Vimeo and other video-sharing websites. On these websites the content comes from the community of video makers that upload video files to the YouTube website. These websites provide the search technology that lets video-enthusiasts find the information/videos that they want. The person that makes the video benefits from being discovered and having his/her “talent” seen by an audience of video users. The audience benefits from seeing the video — if they like it.
In both the video-sharing websites and ZoomProspector, what is most important isn’t really about the video or the community assets. It’s about the beneficiary movie maker or community being seen, discovered, made-famous, and then matched with an audience that wants what it has to offer. These video-sharing websites and ZoomProspector are technologies that help match parties in mutually beneficial relationships.
Map Data You Can’t Find on Other Map-Based Websites
All of the big-name search engines now include mapping as a key element of their websites. The mainstream trend to include and use interactive mapping became a break-through technology in 2005 with companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft all competing to launch the best online mapping products. As a result, the formerly specialized field of mapping, most commonly referred to as “Geographic Information Systems,” became a mainstream technology used by millions.
Currently, all of these map-based websites typically use generic data that typically consists of “street centerline data” (these look like paper road maps on the Internet), satellite imagery (a real image of the earth taken from space), listings of businesses (these companies make money from business search advertising) and driving directions
ZoomProspector uses many layers of detailed local map data that usually can’t be found on Google, Yahoo or Microsoft’s map-based websites. The ZoomProspector website has this data because it comes from our community of information partners, which includes many cities and counties around the nation.
Unlike these websites, ZoomProspector connects you to many layers of detailed local map data that usually can’t be found on current Google, Yahoo or Microsoft’s map websites. The reason that the ZoomProspector website has this data is because it comes from our community of information-partners which includes many cities and counties around the nation.
You can view the local map data from a property report by clicking on the “Full Property Details and Local Map” icon.
These cities and counties can provide you the most detailed map information through ZoomProspector because they create the information themselves for their engineering, transportation, emergency response, taxation, city planning and other internal needs. The data has to be rich and accurate because government organizations use it for important, and in some cases life-saving, decisions.

How Does ZoomProspector Do It?
ZoomProspector uses a variety of technologies to provide its website users with the ability to find the right locations for their businesses.
The first “Secret Sauce” of ZoomProspector is how it integrates information from so many data sources so that our website users are able to search for information at a broad level and then drill-down into detailed community-data analysis. Unlike other mapping websites that have national data that doesn’t get deeper the further you search, ZoomProspector is actually a national website that is built with local data. So the information is always robust and is typically more detailed than any of the other standard mapping websites like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.

The second “Secret Sauce” of ZoomProspector is the community of organizations that create the data and information-content found on the website. Video-sharing websites would be worthless without people uploading videos and Search Engines would have no value if they couldn’t link out to content on other websites. Our website’s content comes from many sources, data providers, and primary data that we have collected ourselves. Of course some of the most important information on the website is supplied by the network of governmental and quasi-governmental organizations that supply the local map data for the website. The geographic scope of data on ZoomProspector is quickly growing and today it already includes information from the majority of the states and 50 largest cities in the USA.
