Fuck it, why not

This has never crossed my life. I wouldn’t mind an irl open world with an open map option and fog of war.

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

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

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

And then not google.

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

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

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

like i need to tell google more about me

Fog of World has existed for a long time

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

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

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

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

I want that

this is just the Waze map editor

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

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?

Only if I get achievements for uncovering large segments of my map, probably by neighborhood.

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

... 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.

Your feeling of helplessness is your best friend, savage! cranks RA2 OST

Have they never left that circle ever?

Why can't they just do it like the indexer and work on it like hyperlinks? Blue for not seen and purple for where you've been. Done.

Yes Alex, can I buy a pixel?

I'm in, can I do this now? I'm very far from home at the moment

I stumbled upon someone online who was making just that. Then they dropped it. Don't remember who it was, but I looked for them from time to time on Nitter (prolly had on browser bookmarks)
