How FOG works while you do this
FOG: Fog of War Walking Map covers the world in fog and clears it only where you physically walk. Spend a day on foot at a festival like this one and the town comes out of the dark in blocks rather than a thin line, because the streets are short and close together.
It runs in your pocket with the screen off. There is no account and no server. It is free to explore, with a single purchase of USD 5.99 for unlimited ranks, every character and history import. If you already have Google Timeline or GPX files, importing them paints in everywhere you have already walked here.
