I guarantee Google already has a fog of war map of every place you've ever been

Please add fast travel for places you've been in the next patch

Like a train station?

Honestly, I'd be fine with a fast travel sign post as long as worked as intended.

Mobile OSM is a bit like that when it hasn't downloaded the tiles for the regions you don't usually go to.

someone should make PR in CoMaps or OwnTracks for this feature

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 day ago

You should have to fill it in by climbing a big tower

[-] [email protected] 95 points 2 days ago

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

Gotta get a quest to drop a POI out there

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

You could make it a "mode" of sorts. Like a map overlay that will temporarily cover everything you havent been to.

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Did you really make it back fully, though? What did you leave behind that night?

[-] [email protected] 63 points 2 days ago

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…

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

What?

25.- chf?

It's actually cheaper over here?

What about Streetcomplete? You explore and help others at the same time...

I would absolutely love that. Fuck fast travel, let me explore!

Fog of World has existed for a long time

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Does that work without gsf/google maps?

Had that (for OpenStreetMap) on my long list of project ideas, including quests you could take to some random monuments. Maybe one day.

haha, same. Ok, I kick it from my list and you do it.

If you'd write it with the 1 programming language I'm good at, I promise to do at least 1 pull request. 😉

[-] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Deal. Need to first finish one large project before committing to something new again.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Combine that with Street Complete and you have a game

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

There is an app of fdroid and google play called street complete. Its basically quests to fill in local missing data on openstreet map

like i need to tell google more about me

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Doesn’t need to be made by Google. It could be self hosted. Be the change you want to see in the world 😉

I want that

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

A map that only knows my home PC, work PC, and the 2 routes in-between?

Anyone aware of an offline local alternative to https://fogofworld.app/ ?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

The github link tells me access denied

[-] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Hmmm, it works for me. Here's the raw link in case it helps: https://github.com/Freika/dawarich

Does this exist as Open Source with OSM instead of Google?

this is just the Waze map editor

your editable region is just around streets you've been on
