Add Contact	Turn a map place into a CallProof account you can call, visit, and track.	New lead you want in CRM.
Radius	Select everything inside a circle (5 / 10 / 20 miles options in the radius tool).	“All leads within X miles of this spot.”
Lasso	Select places inside a freehand shape.	Irregular territories or along a corridor.
Create Route / Add to Database	Save selected places into CallProof and/or build a visit route.	After selecting a set of good leads.

Tips and important notes

• Best results: set a clear Address (or map center) before searching.
• Prefer Category + keyword over a blank search.
• Always check Contact Already Exist before adding to avoid duplicates.
• Radius and Lasso are for selection; you still Add Contact / Add to Database / Create Route afterward.
• Saved search names need at least 2 characters.
• Create Route from the map feeds the same Routes module you already documented.
• If the map is blank after Search, confirm address geocode worked and zoom to the pins.
• Calendar icon on this screen may be disabled — use Search, Account, Route, Radius, and Lasso for day-to-day lead finding.

Need help?

• No places found: change keyword/category, widen area/address, try again
• Cannot add contact: place may be invalid or already linked — use Contact Already Exist
• Lasso/Radius empty: draw over pins that are already loaded from Search
• Saved search missing: open Places Saved Searches; only owners see View/Delete
• Route not created: enter Route Name; managers must pick assignees when required
