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

Susch sits at 46.7494°N, 10.0797°E in the Lower Engadin valley of Graubünden, tucked where the En (Inn) river valley meets the roads climbing toward the Flüela Pass and the Ofenpass. Ringed by larch forest and steep alpine flanks, the village occupies a strategic pinch-point that has made it a crossroads village for centuries rather than a destination in itself — travelers pass through en route to Davos, Zernez, and the Swiss National Park just to the east.

History

Like much of the Lower Engadin, Susch's roots trace to Romansh-speaking farming and trading communities that grew around the pass routes linking German-speaking Graubünden to the Engadin valley floor. Its position on the road network meant it long served travelers and pack trains crossing the Flüela, giving it a modest but persistent role in regional trade and communication far outsized relative to its population.

People & Demographics

Susch remains a small, close-knit alpine village — a place where Romansh (Vallader dialect) and German are both part of daily life, alongside the area's traditional ties to farming and mountain livelihoods. As with much of the region, the resident population is modest, and much of the village's rhythm follows seasonal visitor flows rather than year-round density.

Economy & Markets

The local economy leans on tourism, hospitality, and small-scale agriculture typical of the Lower Engadin — guesthouses, alpine dairying, and services catering to hikers, cyclists, and winter travelers passing between Davos and the Engadin. In recent years, cultural tourism has added a notable new thread: Muzeum Susch, a contemporary art museum built into a former brewery and monastery complex, has drawn an international art crowd to a village that otherwise sees mostly transit traffic.

Culture & Character

Susch's character is quietly layered: an unassuming pass-road hamlet that suddenly hosts serious contemporary art alongside barns and chalets. The museum's arrival has given Susch a curious dual identity — deeply rural Romansh mountain village on one hand, unexpected node on the international art-world map on the other — without displacing its small-scale alpine feel.

Current Currents

The village finds itself unexpectedly in the news today following a tour bus accident on the Alpine road between Susch and Zernez, in which a bus carrying Dutch passengers overturned with fatalities and injuries. It's a stark reminder of the terrain that has always defined Susch's role — a place shaped by mountain passes and the roads threading through them, where the same routes that bring trade, travelers, and now art tourists also carry real risk on narrow alpine roads. For a village this size, such events reverberate deeply through the local community even as they register as passing headlines elsewhere.
