-# Example 1: Basic Map
+# Example 1: Basic Map  
 
-In this example we see how we create a basic React app with a Map component using [utopia-ui](https://github.com/utopia-os/utopia-ui) library.
+In this example, we'll learn how to create a **basic React app** with a map component using the [utopia-ui](https://github.com/utopia-os/utopia-ui) library.  
 
-For this example we use Vite to create an empty React app called "1-static-map"
+### Setting Up the Project  
+
+We'll use **Vite** to create an empty React app named **"1-static-map"**:  
 
 ```shell
 npm create vite@latest 1-static-map -- --template react-ts
-```
 
-We open our new app in the terminal and install the [utopia-ui](https://github.com/utopia-os/utopia-ui) package
+Next, we navigate into our project folder and install the [utopia-ui](https://github.com/utopia-os/utopia-ui) package:  
 
 ```shell
 cd 1-static-map
 npm install utopia-ui
-```
+```  
 
-We open our `src/App.tsx` and we replace the content with
+### Implementing the Map  
+
+Now, we open `src/App.tsx` and replace its content with the following:  
 
 ```tsx
-import { UtopiaMap } from "utopia-ui"
+import { UtopiaMap } from "utopia-ui";
 
 function App() {
   return (
-    <UtopiaMap center={[50.6, 9.5]} zoom={5} height='100dvh' width="100dvw">
-    </UtopiaMap>
-  )
+    <UtopiaMap center={[50.6, 9.5]} zoom={5} height="100dvh" width="100dvw" />
+  );
 }
 
-export default App
+export default App;
+```  
 
-```
+### Running the Application  
 
-Then we start the development server to check out the result in our browser:
+To see our **first map app**, we start the development server:  
 
 ```shell
 npm run dev
-```
 
-And can open our first map app in the browser 🙂
+Now, we can open the project in the browser and explore our interactive map! 😊  
 
-In [Example 2](../2-static-layers/) we gonna add some static data to our map
+➡️ In [Example 2](../2-static-layers/), we'll add **static data** to our map.
