Title: Tax sales on your smart phone
Post by: OTS Jeff on February 28, 2012, 01:31:23 PM
We've combined out Green Arrow NavigationTM with QR Code technology to make it easier to drive to tax sale properties.  Here's how it works:
1.  Go to any of the properties in Clarington ontariotaxsales.ca/nc/upcoming-tax-sales/municipality/TSuid/634/pBack/7/stype/featured/muid/219.html on OTS
2.  Open the QR code scanner application in your Blackberry, iPhone or Android (choose 'Browser' if you're using an Android)
3.  Point your phone at the black and white box above the photo

That will open up an interactive aerial photo or map of the property using our Green Arrow NavigationTM .  You can zoom in, zoom out, and click on the Green Arrow to get driving directions to the property.  

I hope you'll find this feature to be helpful.  If you want info on where to download a free QR code scanner app, click here: ontariotaxsales.ca/fileadmin/downloads/Tax_Sales_on_your_Smart_Phone__OTS_.pdf

Thanks Jeff...now I can never get lost.  What ever happened to fumbling with maps in the front seat of the car, realizing that I brought the wrong ones, and having to drive 50 miles to get the right ones, usually on the day of the sale, you are helping to solve the world fuel shortage...and yet the price per litre keeps rising.     8)

Jeff:

Thanks.  For readers see also the sister post on property boundary issues.  They are more common then people realize. 

For your next ap could you design one that tells me what this guy  8) and others are going to bid.  Ideally two days in avance so we will not have to waste time driving out to tax sales where people put in unrealistic bids.   ;D

Actually, since you two enjoy all the free advertising ..why dont you actually quit being leeches and buy some adspace..actually pay Rob for his time and effort instead of being freeloading spammers

Rob..If they dont anti-up and pay you for advertising ..start deleting the links they put in to grab search engines or delete all their  messages completely

I regret that my posts are seen as spamming.  I have the greatest respect for Rob, and for the people who visit this website.  I don't wish to in any way diminish Rob's business, or to offend people who contribute to and/or visit this website.  Accordingly, I will not make any further posts on this website.

I wish you all every success in your tax sale investments.

Signing off,

Feel free to post any links or resources or ads in the 'links and resources section' that relates to properties or tax sales or some other related topic. 

Announcements is a good section if you have something you want to share with everyone (maybe something new).  I think you posted about some new map software deal.. that makes sense to put that in that secton.

I moved this mobile map/QR code post from the general discussion to the links and resources section because it was an ad for this new product and the annoucement was already made previously.  I probably would have left it in the annoucements section, but it really didn't belong in the general section.

Any questions related to posts feel free to email or instant message me.



This is not really a business in the same sense that you have a business.  It's more of an old fashion hobby site something you might have found 20 years ago before the internet when people used modems to connect to BBSes.  And all of the rules and guidelines are in the same spirit as those old boards.  One thing I do miss is the chat button that allowed anyone connecting to the BBS to talk directly to the SysOp (system operator).  Maybe I'll look at adding that functionality here.



I do like the weekly free membership idea for the members here (no interest for me personally) but that's not my call :)   You should consider even a free month.. it might increase memberships?
