The Best Mortgage Rates on Google Maps

We do like a first on Google Maps Mania and this is definitely the first map of mortgage interest rates that we have seen. SvD Näringsliv has released a Google Map that allows its readers to add the location of their bank to the map and indicate how much their mortgage interest rate is.

Other users can then use the map to research banks in their area to discover which ones are offering the best mortgage interest rates. They might even discover that their own bank has offered someone else a lower deal and can then use the information to try and renegotiate their own interest rate.

The SvD's Räntekarta includes a number of useful controls that allow the user to filter the banks displayed on the map. The slide control at the bottom of the map allows you to filter the results by the interest rates charged. If you only want to view banks offering rates between 4-6% you simply adjust the sliders to filter the results shown on the map.

The menu in the map sidebar allows you to filter the results by bank name or by location.

Over One Million ATM's Mapped

MasterCard Global ATM Locator

The MasterCard Global ATM Locator lets you find an ATM that accepts MasterCard, Maestro or Cirrus cards in over 210 countries around the world - that is over one million ATM machines.

You can search for an ATM by address, zipcode or postcode. You can also add a number of requirements to your search, such as drive throughs, 24 hour access, wheelchair accessible, no access fee and deposit sharing.

The results of a search are then displayed on a Google Map and displayed in list form under the map.

Finding Your Money on Google Maps

HSBC Bank Canada Map

HSBC Bank Canada have produced a Google Maps mashup to help customers locate bank branches and ATM's. The map allows users to enter any address and find their nearest HSBC bank or ATM machine.

It is possible to view both banks and ATM markers on the map or select to view just banks or just ATM's. The locations are shown both on the map and are listed in a sidebar. When you click on a bank or ATM marker it is also possible to get driving directions.

BNZ Branch Locator

BNZ Bank in New Zealand have also produced a Google Map that shows the locations of bank branches and ATM machines. The map helps customers discover branch opening times, branches with wheelchair access, drive thru banking sites and ATMs where you can make deposits.

It is possible to search the map for any location in New Zealand. The map also uses innovative marker clustering on the map which is reflected in the map sidebar. The cluster markers show how many branches there are in a particular location and the cluster markers are displayed not only on the map but in the sidebar.
