What is Teleport?
Teleport is a game-changing feature in Pin Drop that lets you step into any location — even when you’re miles away. Whether you’re planning, prospecting, or simply exploring, Teleport shifts your perspective to the place that matters most, making it feel like you’re right there.
The Problem It Solves
Sometimes, you’re not physically where you need to focus your work or planning:
- For Work: You’re a sales rep researching a new territory or prospecting clients in another city or country.
- For Play: You’re planning a dream vacation or exploring places for future adventures.
Without Teleport, you’re tied to your current location, and results may not reflect the areas you care about most.
The Teleport Solution
With Teleport, you can:
- Set a location: Pick any spot on the map as your temporary “home base.”
- Reorganize results: Automatically reorder pins by proximity to your chosen location.
- Recenter the map: Start your mapping or searching from the teleport location.
- Search smarter: Find places near the pseudo-location, as if you’re already there.
Who Can Benefit?
- Professionals: Sales teams, delivery managers, real estate agents, or anyone needing remote territory insights.
- Planners: Travelers, event organizers, or adventurers scoping out future trips.
