Mappit — 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. Seven map apps show the numbers beside the news: they color the world's countries and America's states, counties and congressional districts by the economy, population, health, conflict and the 2026 US elections, from open data, and play them back through time. 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

Geography & Setting

New Hampshire sits in New England's heart, bounded by Vermont to the west, Maine to the east, and Massachusetts to the south. The state's 9,349 square miles encompass the White Mountains in the north—home to Mount Washington and some of the Northeast's most dramatic alpine terrain—and gentler rolling hills and lake country to the south. The Merrimack River runs north-south through the state's center, historically serving as both a transportation corridor and industrial powerhouse.

History & Identity

New Hampshire's identity crystallizes around two words: "Live Free or Die," the state motto adopted during the American Revolution and still emblazoned on license plates. As one of the original thirteen colonies and an early adopter of self-governance, New Hampshire has long positioned itself as fiercely independent. The state was instrumental in ratifying the U.S. Constitution, and this spirit of self-determination persists—New Hampshire has no state income tax and limited sales tax, reflecting deep-rooted skepticism of centralized authority.

The state's economy historically rested on timber, textiles, and water-powered mills. Mill towns along the Merrimack, particularly Manchester and Nashua, once thrived as manufacturing centers. Though that era has faded, its architectural legacy remains.

People & Culture

With roughly 1.3 million residents, New Hampshire is a mix of old Yankee families and newer arrivals drawn by the tax structure and outdoor lifestyle. The culture emphasizes self-reliance, outdoor recreation, and town-level democracy—town meetings remain a cherished civic institution.

The state's natural attractions—hiking, skiing, lake recreation—define much of daily life, particularly in summer and fall when leaf-peepers descend for the famous autumn foliage.

Current Currents

Recent news reveals a state grappling with growth and change. Infrastructure upgrades like the Route 202 roundabout in Concord signal modernization pressures. More telling: a flurry of housing-related legislation (affordable housing density bonuses, federal grants, manufactured home provisions) and homeschooling deregulation suggest New Hampshire is negotiating between traditional independence and contemporary needs—population growth, housing affordability, evolving educational models.

Meanwhile, the loss of JetBlue service at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport hints at the challenges smaller regional hubs face competing with major Northeast corridors, even as the state promotes itself as accessible and business-friendly.
