Definitely a fun thing to have on but really reduces map usability. I can see this for one of those map games like pokemon GO or Ingress.
Could be just an option under location history. You only go there to check where you have been so no loss in reduced map usability
Check out fog of world, this exists
Damn. I looked it up. It looks awesome. But at least on Google play they're asking 30 bucks. Bit too much for me
I contributed to OpenStreetMap when it was totally blank in my area and I was the only contributor. I used to let a GPS datalogger running and map every single trip. That was kind of like this. It was really addictive.
Damn right I'd have that enabled all the time... Just need to revisit all the places I've been all over again. Roadtrip!
I don’t see why they can’t use the already existing historical data they have on you.
True, but I'm one of those people that always has my gps settings off when I'm not actively using it. Any excuse to revisit my past adventures
It's not fog of war, but if you go to the timeline and have location history enabled, you can see a map of all the places you've been. So if you're looking for new places to try out that's a good way to start.
There's also a heat map in Google photos where you can zoom in see the photos by location.
Wow that's cool. Thanks!
Would be kinda fun if you could switch between views
Actually seems like a cool idea for an app to explore new areas of the city or whatnot.
That would be awesome.
