About Monopoly City Streets Data Viewer

This website provides the following tool. The regular game has a "find streets" feature that can be used whenever the map is at its finest zoom level. It reports about 20 to 30 streets near the center of the map. The streets are listed in alphabetical order, and owned streets are mixed with available streets. The listing tool on this website is similar to this in-game feature, but it

Displays all nearby streets in about 25x the area on the in-game counterpart.
Sorts the reported streets by descending price.
Colors available streets in green.

In short, this tool can help you find high-value, available streets more quickly than the in-game feature.
Click on "Listing", above, to use this tool. Enter a longitude and latitude figure and press the find streets button.

For example, according to Google Maps, the coordinates of W El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA are -122.046561 (West 122.046561), 37.37234. To find streets in this area, enter -122.046561 for the lng and 37.37234. To reveal this information in Google Maps, press the Link button at the top-right of Google Maps and examine the URL. This is the result: http://evocloud.com/mcs/listing.php?lng=-122.046561&lat=37.37234
New: Just paste the Link URL into the listing page.

There are just two PHP files that generate the report. The first file is only responsible for supplying the header() and footer() functions to make the website's pages appear roughly consistent and to make sure that the Hasbro trademark disclaimer appears on every page. The second file, listing.php, is responsible for all of the features of the listing page. Version History
