NGL, that would be such a cool setting to be able to toggle on

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.

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

This is probably not too difficult to implement using openstreetmaps.

Damn right I'd have that enabled all the time... Just need to revisit all the places I've been all over again. Roadtrip!

@TheBrickyard

I don’t see why they can’t use the already existing historical data they have on you.

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!

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