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

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 28 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 2 days ago

Gotta get a quest to drop a POI out there

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

someone should make PR in CoMaps or OwnTracks for this feature

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 days ago

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

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 63 points 2 days ago

This would actually encourage me to explore new areas of my city.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

5 years of progress so far.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

$30 👀 I’d need a lot of convincing…

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

What?

25.- chf?

It's actually cheaper over here?

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

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Combine that with Street Complete and you have a game

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

[-] needanke@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

Does that work without gsf/google maps?

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

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 25 points 2 days 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/ ?

[-] AnExerciseInFalling@programming.dev 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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

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.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 20 points 2 days ago

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

I want that

[-] BackwardsUntoDawn@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

this is just the Waze map editor

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