Overview

The Magic Map is the heart of ShipperCRM. It's the central hub for exploring shipper facilities and finding contacts. This section is a comprehensive guide on how to get the most out of the Magic Map.

Overview

The Magic Map is how you browse Shipper CRM's proprietary U.S. shipper database with over 51,000 shippers across the entire United States. Shipper facilities will be displayed on the map, as shown on the graphic below. When the map is zoomed out, you'll see bubbles that correspond with the number of shippers in a given area. You can drag the map to explore different areas, and zoom in to see individual shipper locations.

Zoom in & out

There are a couple of ways to zoom in and out on the Magic Map. The easiest is to scroll up or down using your mouse or trackpad. Scrolling up will zoom out, and scrolling down will zoom in on the map. You can also zoom in by clicking on any of the bubbles on the map. Clicking on a bubble will zoom in on this cluster of shippers. As you zoom in, you'll be able to see points on the map for individual shipper facilities, which you can click on to visit.

Visited locations

As you browse shippers across the United States, you can click any shipper location to visit it. After being visited, the point on the map will become light gray to indicate that it has been visited so you can keep tabs on your research. Similarly, after purchasing a contact for a specific location, the location will be marked accordingly to remind you which locations you have already saved LinkedIn profiles.

Locations that have already been visited will show up in a different color

Satellite View

While the default view for the Magic Map is landscape view, you can optionally toggle Satellite view to get a better sense of the terrain and layout of potential shipper locations. You can use this feature to gain insights into shipper operations, such as dock facilities and truck parking arrangements.

Hover Card

The hover card is a quick way to get a glimpse of the details of a shipper location. Hover your cursor over a point on the map for the hover card to appear. The hover card provides details on the following: company name (Pro users), a short company description, predicted equipment, estimated revenue, assignee, and view counts, which is based upon which members of your workspace have clicked and viewed that shipper location.
