# Explore Venues

### 🗺️ The Map (WIP)

The map is your main gateway to discovering places around you.

You can use it to:

* View nearby venues at a glance
* Tap any pin to see a venue’s details
* Start a check-in or write a review directly from the venue page
* See trusted recommendations powered by real reviews
* Explore new areas by dragging or zooming the map

Every venue on the map includes:

* ⭐ Ratings
* 📍 Distance from your location
* 🖼️ Photos
* 📑 Real reviews with TrustScores

The map makes discovery fast, visual, and grounded in real-world presence.

### 🔍 Search (coming soon)

The search feature will let you look up places based on:

* Venue type (coffee shop, restaurant, bar, park…)
* Keywords
* Your personal taste and exploration style
* Trusted recommendations from contributors you follow

Search will become a powerful way to find **relevant**, **authentic**, and **human-verified** places not just the most popular ones.

This feature is currently in development and will roll out soon. Our goal is to allow human based interaction thanks to our in-app AI concierge.
