Abstract
An approach is provided for providing list-based exploration of mapping data. The list-based exploration platform causes, at least in part, an association of one or more features of a geographical area with one or more list objects. Next, the list-based exploration platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of location information associated with one or more map data items to group, to sort, or a combination thereof the one or more map data items into the one or more list objects. Then, the list-based exploration platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least one of the one or more list objects in a user interface, wherein the user interface includes one or more user interface elements for controlling a browsing of the one or more map data items in the at least one of the one or more list objects.
