This real-life adventure game allows you to remove the fog from the map as you explore the world, creating a beautiful visual representation of every place you've been. It's a fantastic tool to map your travels and discover new places around you.

The exquisite mapping feature provides beautiful world maps at a glance. With just a few taps, you can record and map your trips, storing them securely on your cloud storage for future reference.

Fog of World offers a wide range of features to enhance your travel experience. It records your tracks and maps your travels accurately, even when running in the background. The app also provides detailed statistics about your trips around the globe, continents, countries, and territories. It supports importing tracks from GPX or KML files and seamlessly synchronizes your data with popular cloud storage platforms like iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.

Your privacy is of utmost importance with Fog of World. The app does not collect any of your exploration data. All your data are saved locally on your device and are only uploaded when you choose to sync them with your cloud storage. Furthermore, the app utilizes a super high-accuracy offline reverse geocoding database to provide the most accurate statistics while using minimal storage.

What sets Fog of World apart from other similar apps is its commitment to innovation and global compatibility. As the first app to introduce the fog of war concept to real-world maps in 2012, it has consistently provided free updates since then. The app excels in rendering the fog overlay and offers the only high-resolution tracks available. With no user account required, you can rest assured that your data stays private and secure. Additionally, Fog of World is the only app that supports both the worldwide coordinate system and the GCJ-02 coordinate system used in China for political reasons.

Download Fog of World today and start mapping your trips, creating lasting memories of your adventures across the globe. It's like having a world atlas and a personal travel diary in one.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can significantly decrease battery life.
