Mappit.ai — frontier geo-intelligence. Every place has a story.

The world's zeitgeist on a map. Mappit turns the world's news into a living, interactive map. An always-on news engine continuously reads what is happening in nearly two thousand places — its own crawler, which reads the world's publishers directly and supplies more than nine in ten new stories, working alongside frontier AI from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI in the jobs a crawler cannot do — and pins each story to the place it is about, on an interactive, time-aware map of the planet. Zoom into any city and you see what's happening there right now — grouped by topic, colored by mood, drawn only from publishers that clear a reliability bar and weighted toward the most trusted, marked with how many independent sources found it, and with every source link checked so the stories you read actually lead somewhere real. Scrub the calendar backwards and the map replays how the world looked on any past day, because each day's record is kept rather than replaced.

On top of that news layer, Mappit adds live views of the physical planet — earthquakes, wildfires, air quality, and weather — and a market layer that plots stock movements at companies' real headquarters. A built-in AI guide named Marco answers questions about any place and cites its sources — the news there and, from an atlas of open data, its population, borders and statistics, each figure with its year and source. And Mappit is frontier geo-intelligence: eight Layer Apps put the official numbers beside the news, coloring the world's countries and America's states, counties and congressional districts by the economy, population, energy, health, conflict and the 2026 US elections, drawing every nuclear reactor and data center, playing it all back through time, and writing an AI analysis of any view on request. Anyone can browse for free; a subscription unlocks the ability to create and share your own places, collections, and data layers. And AI assistants can read Mappit directly: add https://mappit.ai/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant, free and without an account.

The core idea is simple and durable: place + time is the most natural way to organize what is happening in the world, and the value compounds every day as the record grows. The map is the interface; the permanent, corroborated, geolocated corpus of world events beneath it is the substance.

Mappit requires JavaScript for the interactive map. Every public place, pin, collection and profile also has a crawlable page — see the sitemap.

Mappit's analysis

Pevek

Geography & Setting

Pevek sits at 69.7°N, 170.3°E on the East Siberian Sea, tucked into the coastline of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in Russia's far northeast — the northernmost town in the country. It's a place defined by extremes: polar night grips it for weeks in winter, the sea ices over for most of the year, and the surrounding tundra is treeless, wind-scoured, and largely uninhabited. Ships can only reach it during a brief summer window when the Northern Sea Route opens up, making Pevek as much an outpost of logistics as of geography.

History

Pevek grew up in the Soviet era as a gulag-era mining and shipping hub, feeding off the region's tin and uranium deposits and serving as a port for the broader Chaunsky District. Like much of the Russian Far North, it expanded rapidly under state investment and contracted just as sharply after the Soviet collapse in 1991, when subsidized supply chains dried up and much of the workforce left. What remains is a smaller, more resilient town shaped by that boom-and-bust arc.

People & Demographics

Pevek's population has fallen dramatically from its Soviet-era peak, now numbering only a few thousand residents — a mix of ethnic Russians, Ukrainians, and indigenous Chukchi and other northern peoples. It's a workforce town in character: skewed toward those tied to mining, shipping, energy, or administration, with harsh conditions making it a place people often move to for a season or a contract rather than for generations.

Economy & Markets

The local economy still centers on mining (gold and other minerals in the district) and Pevek's role as a seaport along the Northern Sea Route. In recent years the town has also become known as home port to the Akademik Lomonosov, the world's first floating nuclear power plant, which supplies electricity to the town and surrounding mining operations — a striking bit of infrastructure for a settlement this size, and a symbol of Russia's broader push to keep its Arctic frontier economically viable.

Culture & Character

Pevek's identity is built around endurance — of climate, isolation, and history. It carries a frontier toughness common to Arctic company towns, where community bonds form quickly out of necessity. Its remoteness has also made it a minor point of fascination for polar travelers and Arctic-shipping enthusiasts, one of the few places where the abstract idea of "the top of the world" has a functioning dock, a floating reactor, and a functioning ZIP code.
