I’m Explorer Tom. Let’s see what’s nearby.

Over a million places on one free map. Some have rich histories; others are still a mystery. See what is near you.

Tom says: “Pick a spot. I’ve tucked stories and tips all over the map, along with the odd terrible joke. If you take the scenic route, that’s on you.”

The unknown is the point

There may be ten places around you that you have never noticed. Some will be ordinary; one might be brilliant. The map gives you the recorded clues and shows what is close. If you are passing a place with little known about it, have a look and send us a picture.
