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

Geography & Setting

Nunavut sprawls across Canada's eastern Arctic, and the coordinates pinned here — 63.75°N, 68.52°W — sit right around Iqaluit, its capital, tucked at the head of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island. This is a land of tundra, granite, and sea ice: treeless, wind-scoured, and vast beyond easy comprehension. Nunavut is Canada's largest territory by area yet one of its emptiest by population, with much of the year defined by long dark winters, brief intense summers, and a landscape shaped as much by ocean and ice as by rock.

History

The region has been home to Inuit and their ancestors, including the Thule and earlier Dorset cultures, for thousands of years, with knowledge of the land and sea passed down through generations of hunting, travel, and seasonal movement. European whalers, traders, and missionaries arrived in the 19th and 20th centuries, followed by federal administration that brought profound disruption, including forced relocations and residential schools. Nunavut itself is a young political entity — created in 1999 when it was carved from the Northwest Territories, the result of decades of Inuit-led land claims negotiation. It stands as one of the most significant acts of Indigenous self-governance in North America.

People & Demographics

Nunavut's population is small and overwhelmingly Inuit, with Inuktitut spoken widely alongside English and French. Communities are scattered and often accessible only by air or sea — there are no roads connecting Nunavut's settlements to the rest of Canada. Iqaluit, at these coordinates, is the largest community and seat of government, though even it remains modest in size by southern Canadian standards.

Economy & Markets

The economy blends traditional subsistence practices — hunting, fishing, and harvesting — with government employment, mining (particularly gold and iron ore ventures elsewhere in the territory), and a growing but constrained tourism sector centered on wildlife, Arctic scenery, and Inuit culture. The cost of living is notably high due to the logistics of shipping goods north, and food security remains an ongoing concern.

Culture & Character

Inuit culture is central and vibrant here, expressed through art, carving, throat singing, and oral storytelling, alongside a deep relationship with the land ice and animals — narwhal, caribou, seal — that continue to shape daily life. Nunavut carries a quiet, resilient character: a place balancing modern governance and connectivity with traditions that predate the nation surrounding it.
