Sound familiar?

You invest in your community.Residents still do not have one map to trust.

Businesses, events, road grooming, and detours get announced in scattered places. Communities need an affordable living ecosystem map — resident communication first, engagement tools when programs need turnout.

"Road grooming ran past our driveway and nobody told us when. We found out when we heard the plow."

Rural resident

"We post closures on Facebook. Half the town never sees them. Then we get angry calls anyway."

Municipal clerk

"Our farmers market is on main street Saturday. Visitors ask where it is. There is no one map that shows it."

BIA coordinator

"We have a great downtown. Businesses are invisible online unless they pay for ads. We need one map we own."

The Four Gaps Holding You Back

Notice Is Fragmented
across social posts and PDFs

Closures, grooming, and events live in Facebook threads, email blasts, and paper notices — not one map residents check.

The Ecosystem
is hard to showcase

Businesses, markets, trails, and road work deserve one living scene — not a pin dump or a static directory.

Residents
find out too late

Without scheduled public notice, grooming, construction, and detours surprise people at the driveway or commute.

Proof
is screenshots and spreadsheets

When a council, funder, or partner asks what happened, staff rebuild the story by hand — instead of exporting it from the map that already ran it.

Why LocalXP

Not another map. Not another social network.

Google owns navigation. Facebook owns conversation. GIS owns analysis. LocalXP owns living community state: what is happening in your town right now.

Shared geography

One shared place. Many layer operators.

Different organizations operate different layers on the same living map — municipality, utility, BIA, tourism. Shared geometry where it helps. Separate perspectives where it matters. Schedules and signals update in time.

Electrical utility worker servicing infrastructure
Layer operator

Utility & infrastructure

Operate poles, transformers, outages, and field signals on the shared city footprint. Map-first branded PWA for customers and residents.

City street with sidewalks and urban infrastructure
Layer operator

Municipality & public works

Operate roads, sidewalks, grooming windows, and public notices on the same geography. Residents see schedules before plows and crews arrive.

Downtown main street with shops
Layer operator

Downtown & business district

Operate business listings, shop-local programs, and event overlays. Your audience, your branded experience, credited dataset.

Everything on one living map

Community, Event, Trail, and Signals are workspace templates for the same ecosystem — businesses, programs, corridors, and resident notice on shared geography.

Businesses

One profile. Every platform you join.

A business can appear on a downtown map, a weekend market, a festival overlay, and a trail program without rebuilding four listings. Maintain hours, deals, and your pin once. Each organization platform pulls from the same profile.

Resident map

The map of what is happening in your place

Closures, grooming windows, market days, trail status, and signals on one branded public scene. Optional verified capture when an organization runs a shop-local or event program — not the default experience.

Report

A record when you need one

Residents already saw the notice on the map. Operators keep timeline, locations, and exports when a council, partner, or grant asks what happened.

Public transparency first. Documentation when it matters.
