CRE Retail Maps editor with brand logos, leader lines, and subject property

Searchable Brand Artwork

Search. Click. Place.

Search for brand artwork candidates across national and regional retailers, restaurants, banks, pharmacies, grocery chains, fitness brands, coffee shops, and more. Review each suggested image, choose the right match, and place it on the map. You can use a text container or upload an image when a suitable match is unavailable.

  • Submit a brand search and review returned artwork candidates
  • Review artwork before placing it
  • Text and image-upload alternatives for unmatched businesses
  • Proportional resize without distortion

Auto-Find Nearby Businesses

Stop manually searching Google Maps.

Pick a category - restaurants, banks, grocery, fitness, coffee, pharmacy, retail stores, gyms - and CRE Retail Maps searches for matching businesses near your property. Each result includes the business name and address, plus a suggested artwork candidate when one is available. Review the results, then choose what to place on your map.

  • Categories: restaurants, banks, grocery, fitness, coffee, pharmacy, retail, more
  • Search the current map area with results sorted by distance
  • Suggested artwork candidates where a match exists
  • Review and place selected businesses on the map

POI Database

Save locations for reuse on future maps.

Build a personal library of Points of Interest - anchor tenants, traffic generators, competitors, or landmarks - with a custom name, address, and optional uploaded logo. Saved POIs remain available for selection on future maps unless you delete them.

  • Custom name and address
  • Optional uploaded logo
  • Reuse on future maps
  • Select and place from your saved library

Drag to Group

Organize nearby retailers into clusters in one gesture.

Drag one logo onto another to create a grouped container, then use the group editor to name and style it. Drag more logos in and reposition the whole cluster as a unit.

  • Drag a logo onto another to create a group
  • Groups have titles, colors, and grid layout
  • Move whole groups as a unit
  • Ungroup to restore individual logos

Leader Lines

Connect logos to exact locations without clutter.

Every logo can have a leader line that runs from its floating display position to the anchor point on the map. Customize line style (solid, dashed), color, and weight. Great for clean maps where logos sit at the edges and point to dense downtown locations.

  • Customizable line style, color, weight
  • Anchor and display positions move independently
  • Looks professional at print resolution
  • One click to toggle leader line on or off

9 Map Styles + Custom Colors

Match the look of your brokerage brand.

Choose from default, subtle, light, dark, retro, silver, night, satellite, and terrain base styles. Then customize highway colors, weights, opacity, and independently toggle visibility of street labels, highway labels, area labels, business labels, transit labels, and water labels. 12 preset colors plus a custom color picker.

  • 9 base map styles
  • Custom highway highlighting
  • Independent label layer controls
  • 12 preset colors + custom picker
