CivicMapper will refresh your location at customizable intervals and notify you whenever you've crossed into a new jurisdiction.

CivicMapper's "Teleport" feature allows you to explore random locations across the United States. This feature is ideal for geography enthusiasts or those looking to explore different regions of the country in a unique way.

Why Use CivicMapper? You might be thinking 'Can't other popular mapping and navigation apps tell me this information too?' Not really! Most such apps only include address information, containing city, state, and zip code, but they usually don’t include county, or information about a whole host of other jurisdictions. Even the city portion of a standard postal address doesn’t always match the actual city limits where the address is located! For example, homes in rural areas or unincorporated parts of a county may still have a city listed in their address. This is because the postal service assigns the city portion based on zip codes, not actual city boundaries. As all US territory falls within a zip code but not always within a city, the most representative city for each zip code serves as the city in postal addresses, even if the location isn't within that, or any, city’s limits.
