Why Understanding the God Mode Interface Matters
God Mode is packed with data - but only useful when you know how to read it. This guide explains the map visuals, key terms, and filters in the God Mode interface so you can analyze properties and identify buyers with confidence.
Map Color Legend
The map in God Mode uses color-coded markers to visually represent sales activity and location indicators:
🔵 Blue Dots: Areas where 1–10 properties were sold.
🟡 Yellow Dots: Areas where 10–100 properties were sold.
🔴 Red Dots: Areas where more than 100 properties were sold.
🏠 Green Icon (House): Your current location or the selected property on the map.
🔘 Grey Boxes: Represent buyer and transaction data. The first number is the buyer/LLC's order number on the list; the second number is the number of flips completed by that buyer/LLC in the area.
