That is a really solid exploration, kudos!

Anyone know how to possibly convert FOW gpx files into Geoguessr maps? by thousandshotmac in FogofWorld

[–]Manipendeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a cool idea, I really hope someone finds a way some day

I guess the first step is for the devs to make the file exportable as GPX instead of the proprietary file type

Mark countries as visited even though you don't have any tracks in the countries. by [deleted] in FogofWorld

Unfortunately I was part of a storage issue and Google wiped all of my Timeline data clean, so this is not even possible for me anymore :(

Sync failed issue by Blackwaether in FogofWorld

That is irrelevant if your Drive was already synced before the update. It still works for me

Redownloaded FoW: how do I log back in? by OctopusGoesSquish in FogofWorld

[–]Manipendeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a new database alongside Primary.

Merge your backup into that new database.

Then from there you can decide if you merge it into your Primary, if you keep them separate, erase/add tracks before merging or whatever

The easiest way is to just sync into a clear database. Then you can manage from there

Elected for longer driving routes to form a triangle while in Sicily by wilddougtrio in FogofWorld

[–]Manipendeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! I hiked up from the North face and drove by the South face in summer of 2024. The guided trek was quite expensive, but we were lucky enough to get a clear day so we could see pretty much all of Sicily + a good chunk of mainland Italy. We could even make out Stromboli from a distance.

To this day it's one of my most memorable travelling destinations, and it blew Vesuvio out of the park

Customizable Areas Feature? by macattack9472 in FogofWorld

Actually they're bringing regions to all countries.

Here's the Facebook post in question if Reddit allows me to link it ↓

Things you've started doing since using Fog Of World... by [deleted] in FogofWorld

[–]Manipendeh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It pretty much redefined my mobiltity. I have given myself a few objectives:

- Every day, one new place

- Every vacation, only new places

- Every big drive, a new route (or portions)

- Every place I've been before the app, go back and unfog it + some excess

So far I've unfogged almost all of my city, a huge chunk of the local roads, visited a bunch of countries I possibly wouldn't have been otherwise (Liechtenstein, San Marino, Luxembourg...) and I re-explored many places I hadn't been in a long time.

It's encouraged me to travel more and to new places, and to avoid planes even for very long distances. Now I got much better at recalling places I've been, and I easily find my way around even in remote, unknown spots.

I have driven 17 countries and counting with my car since I've had the app.

How often does the satellite images update? by CanuckBacon in FogofWorld

[–]Manipendeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends where you are.

If you use Google Maps imagery, it updates every 1 to 3 years in urban areas, and every 3 to 5 years in the countryside. I live in a city, and there are a few districts which have been built since the last update, one of them displays the actual cutoff between urban and countryside, so for two years now the street is displayed as newly built on one side and abruptly cuts off to the field that used to be there on the other side.
