Kind of terrifying since I use maps pretty much exclusively for places I haven't been to yet, so I'm not totally unfamiliar when I go there
post
This would actually encourage me to explore new areas of my city.
I've been doing exactly that with an app called Fog of World.
5 years of progress so far.

$30 👀 I’d need a lot of convincing…
In the last 5 years, I've left my state one time that I remember
What about Streetcomplete? You explore and help others at the same time...
You should have to fill it in by climbing a big tower
And then not google.
Had that (for OpenStreetMap) on my long list of project ideas, including quests you could take to some random monuments. Maybe one day.
There is an app of fdroid and google play called street complete. Its basically quests to fill in local missing data on openstreet map
Please add fast travel for places you've been in the next patch
Like a train station?
Anyone aware of an offline local alternative to https://fogofworld.app/ ?
Dawarich has support for this. Be aware it is under very active development and has semi-frequent breaking changes though (No data loss, just manual steps to upgrade).
For example, here's my recent trip to Austin for the Counter-Strike Major:

And with regular routing:

It technically works offline because you can record your location and load it afterwards, but I use it by ingesting my location that is tracked by Home Assistant
How do you expect to get positional tracking while being offline?
Why would you need an Internet connection to use GPS?
Is this what people think? That you need an internet connection tion to use GPS?
Man not everyone had a moment in their lives to stop and think about it. And it wasn't taught in school. No need to act condescending.
I would absolutely love that. Fuck fast travel, let me explore!
same,
would be nice to see where you have exploded,
wonder if google has an API to get that info from your location history and make a web app that shows you how much you've explored
A map that only knows my home PC, work PC, and the 2 routes in-between?
like i need to tell google more about me
Doesn’t need to be made by Google. It could be self hosted. Be the change you want to see in the world 😉
Fog of World has existed for a long time
Does this exist as Open Source with OSM instead of Google?
I guarantee Google already has a fog of war map of every place you've ever been
OK, let me get this correct. The idea is to make the map not show places you have not been, the map that one uses to tell you how to get to places you have not yet been?
Am I missing something here, do people use google maps to go to place they have been already? Why?
traffic conditions
some people are dogshit with directions, or it's a place they went once.
this is just the Waze map editor
your editable region is just around streets you've been on
... and/or aren't planning to go. I would love to get through Bloomington, IN without seeing the location of every Liquor store dotting my navigation screen. Can't be personalized, as I basically never visit Liquor stores.
Only if I get achievements for uncovering large segments of my map, probably by neighborhood.
I’d love this, but like Hero’s Path so it knows everywhere you’ve ever been, like the time I somehow made it back to Merton from wherever the night bus dropped me off drunk that time.
This is the most basic-ass tourist hotspot map of NYC…and they didn’t even go a few blocks up to hit Central Park? The fuck
