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 66 points 10 months ago

Gotta get a quest to drop a POI out there

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 10 months ago

You could make it a "mode" of sorts. Like a map overlay that will temporarily cover everything you havent been to.

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

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (7 children)

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

5 years of progress so far.

$30 👀 I’d need a lot of convincing…

What about Streetcomplete? You explore and help others at the same time...

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

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 15 points 10 months ago

Combine that with Street Complete and you have a game

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There is an app of fdroid and google play called street complete. Its basically quests to fill in local missing data on openstreet map

And then not google.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 10 points 10 months ago

someone should make PR in CoMaps or OwnTracks for this feature

Please add fast travel for places you've been in the next patch

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like a train station?

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Like a train station?

Honestly, I'd be fine with a fast travel sign post as long as worked as intended.

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

[–] AnExerciseInFalling@programming.dev 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

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

How do you expect to get positional tracking while being offline?

Why would you need an Internet connection to use GPS?

Navsats and OpenStreetMaps?

[–] stom@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Is this what people think? That you need an internet connection tion to use GPS?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man not everyone had a moment in their lives to stop and think about it. And it wasn't taught in school. No need to act condescending.

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

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

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

like i need to tell google more about me

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Doesn’t need to be made by Google. It could be self hosted. Be the change you want to see in the world 😉

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 5 points 10 months ago

it IS self-hosted. Look up Dawarich.

Fog of World has existed for a long time

Does that work without gsf/google maps?

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.

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