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.
