Paragon Connect has been updated with a new Aerial Flyover Experience accessible in the Map, a new Listings Dashboard search bar, and an updated inventory experience.


Aerial Flyover Experience

You now have access to a powerful new way to explore properties with the introduction of Aerial Flyover, available both when viewing parcels on the map and when exploring properties in the Media Gallery. This unified experience provides an immersive 3D aerial perspective that enhances spatial understanding, property evaluation, and neighborhood awareness.


What’s New


Aerial Flyover can now be launched in two key places where you view property and parcel information:


1.     From the Map:

When you select a parcel at parcel‑level zoom, an Aerial Flyover option becomes available in the parcel action bar. Selecting it opens a full‑screen 3D aerial view focused on the selected parcel and surrounding properties.


2.     From the Media Gallery Map Tab:

When you open the Media Gallery from any supported entry point and navigate to the Map tab, they will now see an Aerial Flyover option in the modal header. Selecting it opens a full‑screen flyover centered on the listing property currently being viewed in the gallery.


In both locations, the flyover automatically plays once the 3D view loads, giving you an immediate sense of the property’s layout and environment.


Unified Experience Across Workflows

The Aerial Flyover experience is consistent no matter where it is launched. You can expect:


  • A full‑screen 3D aerial map focused on the parcel or listing property

  • Automatic flyover animation with play and pause controls

  • Zoom capability for closer inspection

  • A guided view locked to the designated property area to prevent drifting into unrelated locations

  • A clean, distraction‑free presentation that restores the previous map or gallery state when closed.


Availability

Aerial Flyover is currently available in the United States only and is not available in Canada.


How Often 3D Maps Are Updated


Google’s 3D mapping data is refreshed on a rolling schedule, with update frequency varying significantly by region. Areas with high population density, rapid development, or strong user demand tend to receive newer 3D imagery sooner. This ensures that major cities and fast‑changing environments stay visually accurate while more remote regions update more slowly.

Below is the table reflecting typical 3D map update cycles:

  Region Type

  Typical 3D Update Frequency

  Major cities

  About every one to three years

  Suburban areas

  About every three to five years

  Rural and remote regions

  Every five to ten or more years

Listings Dashboard Search

The Listings Dashboard now includes its own search bar at the top of the page. The search bar is fixed in place and includes a Go button that stays disabled until text is entered. Selecting Go takes you directly to the Inventory page and displays the matching listings.


The dashboard still includes Published and Unpublished buttons, now visually separated from the Go button. These buttons take you directly to the Inventory page with the correct filter chosen. When listings share the same address, the Published filter is selected by default.


On mobile, the search controls and the Published and Unpublished buttons are stacked for an easier layout.


Updated Inventory Experience

The new Inventory experience brings all listings together in one streamlined workspace designed to help you work faster, stay organized, and move between tasks with ease. You can now view every published and unpublished listing in a single place, search instantly, and filter with new clarity across desktop and mobile.


A Unified Inventory Page


A new Inventory page replaces the separate Published and Unpublished pages. It displays all listings based on the ownership and permissions while allowing easy switching between published and unpublished views. The page title now reads Inventory.


Key improvements include:


  • A cleaner layout with the new filter panel on desktop

  • Search and filter tools placed directly on the page rather than in the top bar

  • A fixed search bar for quick access at any time

  • The Add Listing button available based on Listing Maintenance Access


Fast and Flexible Search


  • A new always visible search bar sits at the top of the Inventory page.

  • It supports searches for both published and unpublished listings based on the filter selected and behaves exactly like the existing search experience but now remains fixed even when scrolling.

  • The search bar appears across all viewing modes including thumbnail and spreadsheet.

Did you know there are more ways to search in paragon? These Advanced Search functions will allow you to better define how you want your results filtered.


What do they look like?


Freeform Fields







Examples of these types of search fields are Parcel # and Address.


Advanced Options

Contains: Will behave the same as it always has.

Equals: Will make the search literal. (I.E. Input "Hyacinth" into address and it will look for an exact address spelled "Hyacinth," excluding all other results).

Not Equal To: The opposite of Equals, this will exclude the value inputted and include results that don't match.

Contains All: Acts like Contains, except it takes the entire supplied value. (I.E. The Input "Red Door" under Contains would look to see if a result has "Red" or "Door", while under Contains All, it would look to see if a result has "Red" and "Door").

Starts With: Will only look for results where the it starts with the supplied criteria.

Not Starting With: Just like Equals or Not Equal To, this is the exclusionary version of Starts With, allowing you to exclude results that start with the supplied criteria.

Does Not Contain: This is the exclusionary of Contains, allowing you to supply criteria you don't want included in the results.


Look Up Fields




Examples of lookup fields include MLS #, Type, Area, City, County.


Advanced Options

Equals: Will behave the same as it always has.

Not Equal To: Will exclude the supplied criteria. (I.E. If you wanted to look for all listings in Marion county but exclude Keizer results, you could choose Not Equal To in conjunction with an Equals County criteria).


Date Range Fields














Examples of date range fields include Listing Date, Status Date.


Advanced Options

Date Range: Will behave the same as it always has.

7 Days Back - 24 Months Back: Will quickly allow you to look the specified # of days/months back.

Last Month: Will look at results within the last calendar month. (I.E. If the Present is August, it will grab results matching July)

Last Year: Will look at the results within the last calendar year (I.E. If the Present is 2025, it will grab results matching 2024)

This Month: Will look at the results within the current month (I.E. If the Present is August, it will grab results matching August).

This Year: Will look at all matching results within current year. (I.E. If the Present is 2025, it will grab results matching 1/1/2025-12/31/2025

Year-to-Date: Will look at all matching results up to current day within current year. (I.E. If the Present is 2025, it will grab results matching 1/1/2025-Current Day)

Next 7 Days: Will look at all matching results that contain future dates.

Next 30 Days: Will look at all matching results that contain future dates.

I know "Wonky", but what is cache?

According to TechTarget, a cache -- pronounced CASH -- is hardware or software that is used to store something, usually data, temporarily in a computing environment.


Does Paragon use cache?

Paragon and Paragon Connect, require a web browser such as Safari, Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, to operate. Technically, the browser uses caching to help Paragon, and other webpages you visit, run faster and operate more efficiently.


What are the common issues seen in Paragon due to corrupted cache?

  • Login issues or login errors

  • Loading and formatting issues

  • Fields not operating correctly

  • Slow screen behavior

  • Missing information

  • Searches or reports not rendering correctly

  • Same search repeating/reloading over and over


Cool! Now that I know what cache is, how do I get rid of the "Wonky" issues?

You can quick clear a specific website's cache! Before employing this method make sure you are currently on the Paragon or Paragon Connect website (even if it is showing you some kind of error, stay where the error is). Below is the method for Chrome on a desktop and mobile device:


On Desktop

Click the "site settings" button located just to the left of the address bar.


In the newly opened window click "Cookies and site data"


Click on "Manage on-device site data" in this section which will cause a pop-up window to appear.


In this window click all the trashcan icons and then the "Done" button to finish quick clearing the cache for just Paragon.


After this is complete if you hit refresh on your browser you should see the wonkiness is gone!


On Mobile

Tap the "Site Settings" icon to the left of the address bar.


Tap the "Cookies and site data" option in the newly opened window.


Tap the trashcan icon to clear the cache for just the Paragon Connect website.


Although the above guides only cover Chrome the placement and methods are very similar across all browsers. If you would like to clear your entire browser's cache follow the articles below for your relevant browser.




- Google Account Help




- Mozilla Firefox Support




- Microsoft Edge Support





A final word about cache

Usually, caches are helpful, and most of the time, you shouldn’t need to touch them. Periodically clearing your browser cache will help overcome the "Wonky" issues.
