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.
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
You could make it a "mode" of sorts. Like a map overlay that will temporarily cover everything you havent been to.
And then not google.
someone should make PR in CoMaps or OwnTracks for this feature
You should have to fill it in by climbing a big tower
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…
What?
25.- chf?
It's actually cheaper over here?
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...
I would absolutely love that. Fuck fast travel, let me explore!
Mobile OSM is a bit like that when it hasn't downloaded the tiles for the regions you don't usually go to.
Had that (for OpenStreetMap) on my long list of project ideas, including quests you could take to some random monuments. Maybe one day.
Combine that with Street Complete and you have a game

haha, same. Ok, I kick it from my list and you do it.
I expect contributions!
If you'd write it with the 1 programming language I'm good at, I promise to do at least 1 pull request. 😉
Deal. Need to first finish one large project before committing to something new again.
There is an app of fdroid and google play called street complete. Its basically quests to fill in local missing data on openstreet map
Fog of World has existed for a long time
Does that work without gsf/google maps?
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 😉
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.
Did you really make it back fully, though? What did you leave behind that night?
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/ ?
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
I want that
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
