The map opens like a promise: a grid of pins across an island where the Atlantic and Caribbean trade light on limestone cliffs and rainforest canopy. Tap a pin and the road ahead rearranges itself — a coastal lane toward a narrow crescent of sand, a switchback into misted mountains, a roadside pool that glints like a secret. This is self-directed exploration at scale: no guide, no schedule, only choices.
