Walk Score helps users find apartments with a better commute, great nearby places, and transportation choices. For each address, Walk Score analyzes hundreds of walking routes to nearby amenities to generate scores for how easy it is to walk, bike, or take public transit to local amenities. With this extension for Zoho CRM, you can see the Walk Score, Bike Score, and Transit Score for any address, right from your Zoho CRM. Use the extension to easily gather scores to promote your properties.
Note: The Walk Score is supported only in three locations: Canada, Australia, and the United States.
