Your address book, on a map
Saropa Contacts plots every contact with an address on a full-screen world map. Zoom from continents to street level, let nearby contacts cluster into readable groups, or take the People Tour and fly from person to person.
A map of the people you know
Every contact with an address becomes a pin on a full-screen, interactive world map. Where many contacts share a city, they cluster into numbered groups that expand as you zoom — so dense areas stay readable instead of becoming a wall of markers.
Take the People Tour
The People Tour moves across your address book one contact at a time, flying the map from person to person. It is a fast way to rediscover your network — who is where, which cities you know best, and the people far from home.
Explore countries, not just contacts
A collapsible world map shows country flags over capitals with contact-count pills, so you see at a glance where your people are spread across the globe. The Capital City Explorer walks you through the world's capitals, and country flags appear next to every phone number so you always know where a number is from.
Addresses that actually plot correctly
A pin is only useful if it lands in the right place. Saropa validates and auto-corrects addresses as they are saved — fixing formatting issues and flagging entries that cannot be located, so your map reflects reality.
Common questions about the map explorer
Which contacts appear on the map?
Any contact with an address appears as a pin. When several contacts share a city or neighborhood, they cluster into a numbered group that expands as you zoom in, so dense areas stay readable.
Does the map share my contacts' locations?
No. The map is a private view of the addresses already stored in your address book, visible only to you. Nothing about it is shared with your contacts or anyone else — being on your map is not something they can see.
What is the People Tour?
A guided flight across your address book: the map moves from one contact to the next, showing where each person is in the world. It is a fast way to rediscover your network — especially the people far from home.
