| As you log into your admin section you’ll find a new link; “maintain season
dates” Here you’ll be able define your season dates by blocks, i.e. 1-6-2003 > 7-7-2003 is high season or 8-7-2003 > 31-8-2003 is peak season etc. It should only take a few minutes of your time. The clients find a link on the property detail page they can use to see your season dates. |
 |
| We also introduce an “Offer” season; this is intended for “last minute”
vacations, (you can now set, and change, this price in the “Edit property details”). On the front page of www.rent.carvoeiro.com there is a new link; “Last minute deals”, properties that has “offer season” dates 6 weeks ahead will be displayed on this page. |
|
| As many of you are well aware: Official maps or in many cases even addresses are
not highly ranked means of finding a location in some areas. The last proper map
was made in 1979 [army map Serie M888 Folha 604 available from www.igeoe.pt]. We have made a new site www.map.carvoeiro.com where we can combine scanned maps or drawings, aerial photos, satellite pictures etc. with GPS [Global Positioning System] coordinates and use to show locations for rental properties, businesses etc. If you wish to use a link from your advert, showing your property on a map and vice versa you must use the link; “Deliver a location” [ www.map.carvoeiro.com/mapman/user/deliver_show.php?map_id=12 ], the page may be slow loading as it contains a big map. First fill out the few fields, second click on the map as precisely as possible where your property is located. After this you’ll be forwarded to second page showing the GPS coordinates of your property, these will automatically be sent to me for approval after which I’ll add them into a database. I’ll send you a mail when your property is in the system [1-2 days]. It is my hope to develop this site further as GPS comes more into use. If you prefer to use your own GPS receiver and send coordinates by mail it is also fine. A GPS receiver can be arranged for collection in Carvoeiro, please contact me by mail if required. |
