How MyTyne understands place

Maps math finds what’s nearby. Local ranking keeps small towns from looking empty. AI understands locations — not just keywords.

Place intelligence

Every item understands what is nearby

The platform connects businesses, events, places, accommodation, transport, community infrastructure, trails and areas. Under the hood, geographic queries find what sits within range — then a relevance engine ranks results by how local they are to your town.

Nearby, not boundary walls

We find what is around you with map-based search — then sort it by how local it feels to your area.

Rank, don’t hide

Results are grouped as local, neighbouring, wider and region. Nothing useful disappears just because it sits over a borough line.

Connected places

A park links to cafés, parking, toilets, bus stops, walks and events — so planning a day doesn’t mean six separate searches.

AI that understands place

Ask the way you’d ask a friend

The AI understands locations rather than simply searching keywords. It can reason about age, cost, parking, dog-friendly venues and what sits near a named place.

  • Best walk with a five-year-old.
  • Find somewhere free this weekend.
  • Where can we park?
  • Dog friendly café near Gibside.

Explorer

See the region on one map

The Explorer map pulls businesses, places, trails, events and more into a single view — so you can scan what’s around you instead of hopping between tabs.
