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

San Juanico

Geography & Setting

San Juanico sits on the Pacific-facing coast of the Baja California Sur peninsula, tucked into a long, crescent bay near the 26th parallel. The surrounding terrain is classic Baja desert — scrubby, sun-bleached, and sparsely built — meeting a coastline famous for its point breaks. The town itself is small and remote, reached by a mix of paved and dirt roads that discourage casual passersby and reward those who make the trip.

History

Like much of the Baja peninsula, the area was historically home to indigenous groups (Cochimí territory broadly) before Spanish missionary and ranching activity reshaped the region from the colonial period onward. San Juanico's more recent notoriety, however, comes from a very different source: surfers. Starting in the 1960s and 70s, wandering surf explorers "discovered" the bay's long, peeling waves — today marketed globally as Scorpion Bay — and the settlement grew up loosely around that reputation rather than any older colonial town plan.

People & Demographics

San Juanico is a small, tight-knit community — no precise population figure is on record here, but it functions at the scale of a village rather than a town. Many residents are connected to fishing families who have worked this stretch of coast for generations, alongside a smaller, seasonal population of surfers, campers, and expatriate part-timers drawn by the waves.

Economy & Markets

The local economy runs on two legs: artisanal fishing (particularly for species like clams, lobster, and finfish sold locally and regionally) and surf tourism, which brings a steady trickle of visitors chasing Scorpion Bay's famous point breaks, especially during summer south swells. Basic guesthouses, campgrounds, and small palapa restaurants serve that trade; infrastructure remains modest by design and by necessity.

Culture & Character

The character here is unpretentious and salt-worn — a fishing village that quietly became a surf pilgrimage site without losing its low-key, dirt-road feel. Life follows the tides, the swell forecast, and the rhythms of a small community where everyone knows the panga captains and the best taco stand.

Current Currents

As of September 29, 2026, San Juanico sits in the path of Hurricane Polo, a Category 3 storm intensified by El Niño conditions and threatening the Baja peninsula with life-threatening flooding and mudslides. For a coastal community this exposed and this modestly resourced, storms of this magnitude are a serious test — a reminder that the same open Pacific exposure that built San Juanico's surf legend also leaves it vulnerable when that ocean turns violent.
