Hey, Eric from PadMapper here. Thanks for the callout :-) I agree that if you're looking for something very specific, it sucks to not be able to rely on a site showing you everything that's available.
Mind sending email to eric@padmapper.com about any obvious omissions?
Edit: you can also uncheck the "accurately located" filter and it should show more of the missing Craigslist posts.
- nickpinkston 16y agoI found my apartment through PadMapper! Great app - I'd encourage anyone to use it - makes life quite simple. Great job Eric.
- ericd 16y agoThanks Nick! Great to hear :-)
- storborg 16y agoThe biggest issue I've noticed is when listings use a local reference for the location instead of a street address or intersection: for example, a Cambridge, MA listing might refer to "Kendall", a Portland, OR listing might refer to "alphabet district". I do think Padmapper is great, though. It's still a huge improvement over the Craigslist interface.
- ericd 16y agoAhh, gotcha. Yeah, that kind of thing is hard to do reliably, though those should show up when one removes the accuracy filter (not necessarily in the right place). And thanks! I really do like hearing criticisms, though, since it helps me figure out where to focus next.
