      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

      If you use Waze, you can sign into the map editor and you’ll basically see this. You can only edit where you’ve been so your editable area is kind of a fog of war

    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 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. I looked it up. It looks awesome. But at least on Google play they’re asking 30 bucks. Bit too much for me

        It’s because they don’t do anything with your data, you aren’t the product. Most people use this app over many years so when you factor all that in, it’s worth it in my opinion.

    Actually seems like a cool idea for an app to explore new areas of the city or whatnot.
