A map built by people nearby

Most maps show roads, stores and landmarks. Mapchan adds something different: what people are noticing right now.

A new shop, road construction, a local event, a beautiful view, a crowded street or a small change in the neighborhood can all become useful local information.

📍 Location-based posts Posts are connected to real places on the map.
👤 Anonymous You do not need to create a public profile.
💬 Local conversations People near a location can reply to posts.
🌍 Built for local communities Each city can gradually build its own useful map.

Why a map instead of another social feed?

Social networks organize information around people, followers and timelines. Local information often works better when it is organized around places.

When a post is attached to a location, it can remain useful even after it disappears from a normal social media timeline.

Instead of asking “Who should I follow?”, Mapchan starts with a simpler question: “What is happening near this place?”

Useful for everyday local information

Roads and traffic Construction, congestion and temporary changes.
New and closed shops Share changes that local people notice first.
Events and seasonal information Festivals, flowers, markets and local activities.
Hidden local spots Small places and views that may not appear in guides.
