Mapless seeks to create nontraditional documentations of urban landscapes. The landscapes are discovered through the practice of exploration. The trips on this site are created without the help of any preexisting maps, phones, or any other form of navigation. Instead, the path is completely dictated by the senses: sight, sounds and smells. The wanderer will only allow these aspects to guide him.

This concept is not a new one to the human psyche. Check out the Wikipedia page about the concept of a dérive

here.

Through this method, Mapless hopes to create conversations regarding our cities. Do they have quality? What should be improved? How can we improve them? You are welcome to join us.

We are moving towards allowing users to submit their own mapless maps with the hope of creating more comprehensive documentations of cities. Stay tuned. As of right now feel free to tweet @MaplessMap a picture or just the location of a place that attracts you. Let’s see em.
