About
Smart Map
Instant local guidance,
right inside Google Maps
-
Google Maps Native:
No new apps. No learning curve. Just your existing Google Maps.
-
Instant & Easy:
Open the map → see nearby treasures immediately.
No prep, no planning.
-
Local Treasures Only:
We select places that locals actually love — the ones you’d never find in a generic guide.
No planning. Just open and go.
“If I wouldn't take a friend there, you won’t find it on the map.”
Real places only — everything personally visited.
Every pin exists only because we’ve personally visited:
we eat there, walk there, soak there, and pay for it ourselves.
We tell the truth — what’s good, what’s overrated, what to skip.
You get places that have actually been tested, not just talked about.
Following a friend who knows the place day by day
Each unfold map is shaped by a Local Scout who actually lives the city.
Your Local Scout:
-
knows where locals actually go
-
understands neighborhoods, timing, flow, and culture
-
notices details tourists never see
-
shows you what to do and how to do it
-
helps you experience the city in a human, lived-in way
It’s like having a local friend in your pocket — guiding you to what’s truly good, not what’s merely popular.
What You Actually Get

Passionate Explorers
Every Unfold map is shaped by a Local Scout:
a resident who knows the city not through itineraries or rankings, but through footsteps, routines, and daily accidents.
Each Local Scout brings a different layer of the place:
-
where locals truly go
-
what feels authentic versus staged
-
the timing, flow, and context behind each neighborhood
-
the honesty to say when something isn’t worth your time
Unfold smart maps isn’t a list.
It’s a lived point of view.
