Yep. Here’s how it still fits with our love of paper maps.

We know what you’re thinking. We’ve spent years celebrating the magic of a hand-drawn paper map, so why would we launch an app?

It’s a fair question. The short answer: this app, the Discovery Map app, isn’t about keeping people on their phones. It’s about helping them find their way off them—and into their communities.

It’s Built for Exploration

The Discovery Map App is designed to be useful right where you are. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it helps you find interesting places to eat, shop, and explore, many of which you might not stumble across otherwise.

We also built in some fun features, like Community Challenges, which let chambers of commerce and other local groups encourage people to get out and support small businesses in a more interactive way. It’s a simple concept: visit places, check in, earn rewards. Good for business, fun for people.

Real Deals from Real Places

We also added a section for local offers. These aren’t big box or coupon site promos. They’re deals from small businesses looking to bring in new faces or reward returning ones. Whether it’s a special tasting, a discount on a rental, or a hidden happy hour, the goal is to help users discover something new—and give local businesses a boost.

This Doesn’t Replace the Map

We’re not giving up on print. Not even close! The paper map is still the heart of what we do. The app just adds another way to explore. It’s not meant to replace the experience, it’s meant to support it.

Thanks for sticking with us as we try new things. If you’re curious about how the app might support your town or local organization, or just want to poke around, we’d love to hear what you think.
