Baltimore launches a new tool aimed to help homebuyers and promote the city.

"A city Web site that pinpoints neighborhood boundaries as well as historic and council districts is being promoted as another tool to help buyers find homes in Baltimore. The iMap (http://maps.baltimorecity.gov/imap) allows users to overlay different types of information on the map through an easy-to-use list of check boxes. Users can zoom in and out to find city schools, museums, street intersections and even trash dumps...city officials said they want the site to be a tool for city residents as well as those considering moving to Baltimore."
