That'd be awful for me, my primary use of google maps is streetview to figure out what places look like before I go there
You wouldn't be stuck with the fog, you would be able to toggle it on and off. The purpose is to make it obvious which areas you've already seen, so that you can know which areas of the world you still have yet to explore!
There's an app for that, Fog of World.
Here's my map.
Damn, that looks impressive! I'm guessing truck driver? 😄
Correct. Most of it took a year and a half before I got a job that keeps me home every night. Hit all 48 contiguous states except Vermont (I tried to avoid the northeast whenever possible)
Any reason why? I'm just curious.

More traffic, and way less truck parking. If you're not shut down by 4pm forget about it.
Out west I got longer loads, better views, and always somewhere to park outside of the cities. Midwest is okay but a bit boring, southeast isn't much better than northeast.
Flat dirt isn't very interesting? Clutches pearls
Hey, we got soybeans and corn for part of the year.
Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation
$30 on android?!
The price of privacy?
They are selling your data anyway. The $30 covers their costs to market your data to advertisers.
Nah on this app you actually back up the data yourself by hooking into one of your personal cloud storage accounts
Its a nice idea , but I will hate the way these tech giants choose to implement it. 99% of implementation would need location to be tracked 24x7 and stored in their server . If someone would have a local or private way to do this , I'm exited.
I would normally agree with you, but I ran across the privacy policy while looking at the app. Plus it looks like you get to choose which cloud service to sync with.
Wow they actually do it locally and aren't in the data selling game. I might end up paying for it just to support these guys.
I kind of do that but in reverse with Google Maps Timeline and Strava heat maps. I can see where I've been and where I haven't been so far.
I guess if someone has their location history something like this wouldn't be too hard to accomplish.
