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

    I've been doing exactly that with an app called Fog of World.

    5 years of progress so far.

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

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

    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?

    Is this what people think? That you need an internet connection tion to use GPS?

    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?

    ... 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.

    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
