<p>
Not long after Craigslist cut off a mapping app that tapped its housing data, the popular online bulletin board has quietly begun embedding maps in certain real estate listings.
</p>
<p>
The maps, which appear on housing ads in the San Francisco Bay Area and Portland, Ore., harness data from OpenStreetMap, a service that offers free maps of the world compiled and edited by volunteers.
</p>
<p>
The new feature emerges a little more than a month after Craigslist sued PadMapper, an apartment listings aggregator that collects listings from Craigslist and other services and displays them on a Google map. Craigslist, which has become a popular portal for apartment ads, sued PadMapper and the data harvester it uses &#8212; 3taps &#8212; on copyright infringement grounds.
</p>
<p>
The battle began in June when Craigslist sent PadMapper a cease-and-desist letter that claimed the app violated its terms of use, which prohibit &#8220;copying, aggregation, display, distribution, performance, or derivative use of Craigslist or any content posted on Craigslist.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
For a short while PadMapper took Craigslist data off its site, but then earlier this month, it said it would resume using the data after it discovered a workaround PadMapper creator Eric DeMenthon described as &#8220;somewhat dickish&#8221; but &#8220;legally kosher.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
The solution was provided by 3taps, which created an API that harvests data from Craigslist postings by &#8220;indirect means,&#8221; meaning they aren&#8217;t subject to the Internet bulletin board&#8217;s terms of use. </p>
<p>
Craigslist responded with a lawsuit filed in San Francisco&#8217;s federal court, accusing the two companies of &#8220;unlawfully and unabashedly mass-harvesting and redistributing postings entrusted by Craigslist users to their local Craigslist sites.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
CNET has contacted Craigslist for comment and will update this report when we learn more.

<p class="">
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jul 11, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) &#8211;<br />
Trulia, a leading online marketplace for homebuyers, sellers,<br />
renters and real estate professionals, today announced both Rent SF<br />
Now and J.Wavro Associates, will syndicate their San Francisco rental<br />
listings to Trulia. Consumers will now have access to a distinctive<br />
group of new properties making it easier for Trulia users to find the<br />
right place to live. And with dedicated mobile apps for rentals,<br />
Trulia is making it easier to find an apartment in San Francisco.</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;Trulia is focused on delivering more rental listings to our users by<br />
working directly with partners in the industry,&#8221; said Divya Bhat, Sr.<br />
Product Manager, Trulia Rentals. &#8220;We aim to take the hassle out of<br />
browsing listings by providing tools and apps that cater to the short<br />
and often competitive timeline of searching for a rental. With<br />
features like real-time alerts for new listings, a mobile map view<br />
and local amenity data, we provide renters with critical context as<br />
they browse and tour rentals.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;Prospective renters are searching online for listings while they are<br />
out-and-about,&#8221; said James Wavro of J.Wavro Associates. &#8220;Once we saw<br />
the popular iPhone and Android apps from Trulia we realized how<br />
beneficial it would be for our business to tap into mobile rental<br />
searchers through the Trulia platform.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>&#8220;The rental market moves quickly, particularly in a place like San<br />
Francisco, and renters are increasingly searching for apartment<br />
listings from their mobile phones,&#8221; said David Chesnosky of<br />
RentSFNow. &#8220;Trulia&#8217;s iPhone and Android apps enable us to get in<br />
front of renters while they&#8217;re searching on-the-go.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">
<p>Finding an apartment to rent can be challenging and in San Francisco<br />
a variety of factors, including a strong job market and low<br />
inventory, have been forcing prices up. The latest Trulia Rent<br />
Monitor showed rents are up 14.7% year-over-year, during the month of<br />
June.</p>
<p class="">
<p>In this environment, renters can benefit from tools Trulia provides<br />
to help them find what they are looking for quickly and efficiently.<br />
Trulia&#8217;s dedicated rentals apps for iPhone and Android are optimized<br />
for the tight time frame renters operate on when searching for their<br />
next place to call home. The app provides a rich interface allowing<br />
prospective renters to browse by zip code or neighborhood for current<br />
rentals, but also highlights new listings almost immediately, via<br />
push notifications and color-coded markers which note newer<br />
properties.</p>
<p class="">
<p>The Trulia Rentals App is available for free from the App Store on<br />
iPhone and iPod touch, online and in the Play store from Android.</p>
<p class="">
