ABOUT MAPEDITION
Editorial perspective.
Places brought to life.
MapEdition brings together systems experience and editorial judgment to turn a collection of places into a branded interactive map people can explore.
A useful guide begins with a point of view.
Our starting point was Charleston: the restaurants, gardens, shops, cultural institutions, and gathering places that make a city worth knowing. We wanted to make those discoveries easier to explore, with the writing, photos, locations, and helpful links connected in one place.
That same idea is at the heart of MapEdition. A good map helps readers understand the places behind a story, guests explore a hotel's neighborhood, and buyers see the setting around a home. Your selection and perspective give the map its meaning.
