Millions Mapped is a special mobile app that you have access to as a user of BoldTrail. 

It's an app for your leads to be able to see properties for sale on a map, similar to what you can do with Zillow.
​

The major difference is that the Millions Mapped app is faster than Zillow, easier to use, and uses MLS data to drive it, unlike Zillow which is a confusing mix of both MLS data and "estimates."

For you, Millions Mapped has two major uses.

One major feature of this app is that even though it's on the app store, you can tie leads to YOU using your special app link.

Your special app link is your BoldTrail URL followed by /app.php.

e.g. firstname.boldtrail-demo.com/app.php

This app link can be used in any call to action. Landing Pages, Custom Text Codes, etc. Calls to action can be anything like "Download my mobile office to see the latest home updates" or "See Listings For Sale on my super-fast mobile app!"
​

(Example of a business card with a really, very terrible design, but an excellent mobile app call-to-action. 'redapp' is a custom text code, it is NOT a default text code.)
​

Of course this call to action is not only useful for cards, but useful for your email signature as well!

A really simple message you can include in your Smart Campaigns is a call to action for those leads with no phone number. Sometimes we get those kinds of leads and we should always try working whatever angle we can to get good numbers. BoldTrail tries its best by prompting users to use their phone number as their password to sign up on your BoldTrail website. However, if you have a smart campaign that is tailored to buyers with no phone number, a call to action such as the following may be useful:

"I have my own mobile app that's faster and more useful than Zillow! Send me your phone number and I'll text you the link! You'll be able to see all of the very latest updates on homes for sale wherever you are."

This, or something like this in your own words, will prompt them to send you their cell phone number. When they send it, add it to their profile and text them your special app link!

Curious about how Millions Mapped works? This is a walkthrough of the features of the app.
​
It all starts with getting to the app link that we explained above. The specific link is critical to the flow of associating that person with your BoldTrail database.

Following the app link automatically takes you to the app store page for your specific device (Android shown.)
​
​

The first page welcomes you to the app showing the photo of the real estate professional that linked you to it.
​

After a moment, the app then prompts for location access. It is important to share the location information, because that is what Millions Mapped uses to zoom in to wherever you are. Millions Mapped by default is designed to show you whatever is for sale around your actual location.

After tapping on a green or red home icon, you can navigate to each location by swiping left or right on the listing photo. Tap the listing photo to view the details of the property.
​

After allowing location access you might see a prompt to zoom in. Simply tap the compass arrow at the bottom left of the screen to zoom to your current location.
​

Alternatively, if you want to view homes in another geographical location, you can search for it by tapping on the search icon at the top of the screen.
​

Start typing a location and tap on the best suggestion from the google results to zoom to that location.
​

It can be useful to draw on the map to limit the homes that are shown to you.
​  

It may be useful to first draw on the map, then switch to 'list view' so you're only looking at homes listed within the area you drew.

Start by tapping on the 'Draw' icon.
​

The map will clear. Draw an area with your finger. Then tap 'Save' at the upper right.
​

The map will then update to limit the scope of homes for sale.

Tap this icon to show or hide the satellite imagery layer.

Tap on the list view icon to see all of the homes for sale in a list format as opposed to showing them on the map.

To return to the map, tap the 'back' button at the top left corner of list view:
​

Heat maps are an interesting way to visualize the concentration of listings for different parameters. For example, where are the older properties mostly located? Newer ones? Where are the listings that have the best walk score? Where are the cheaper properties located?
​
These so called heat maps glow from white-hot, indicating a greater concentration, to a medium yellow heat, to a brownish red and faded out color near the outer range of the concentration.

To access heat maps, tap on the heat map icon at the lower right corner of the map area.
​

A list of available heat maps will show. Tap on one to select it.
​

After making your selection, wait for the data to load and the heat map to appear. While it is loading, the heat map icon at the bottom right corner will pulsate until it has loaded all the data.
