Another reality, connected to this one. Drop a thought right where you are. It floats over the map as a speech bubble β and someone, somewhere, peeks in. Map Social is a social network built around one thing: place. β The Earth is moving (NEW) - Real planes in the air right now cross the map, lifted by their true altitude - The International Space Station circles the globe β with a live view from orbit - "12 people walking the Earth right now": feel who else is looking at the same map β 60+ live cameras around the world - Shibuya Crossing, Osaka's Dotonbori, Mt. Fuji, Times Square, Venice, an African waterhole β even Earth seen from the ISS - Tap a pin and the "now" of that place starts streaming - A trip around the world, no plane ticket required β A map where "now" flows - Posts float over the streets as speech bubbles - Tap any bubble to reply β A map that moves - Real buses and trams run across world cities in real time - Weather and day/night follow wherever you're looking β Walk mode - Stroll the map as an avatar and pass people who are really "there" No sign-up needed β it's all there the moment you open the app. Pull the map back. The whole world is your neighborhood.
