Ok not sure if this exists or if I'm even looking for the right thing lol, but I'm hoping someone here knows what I'm after so here goes!

Basically I'm looking for an app that simulates 'shroud' from rts games. What I want is a map overlay or something similar that shrouds the entire world but tracks where I've been, walking or otherwise, and uncovers just the areas I've been to!

If people arent sure what I mean theres a link below...

Never heard of anything like it myself, sounds like a good idea though

Yah I think it would be a laff. Wish I could program in something over then VB, I might consider making it lol. Set your vision range in urban or rural. Set peaks viewable from where you are. Have it follow your gps and uncover as you go. Could even mark out territories and towns to give percentages uncovered. Could make it into an exploring game or something lol.

Nice idea. Introduce another level of gameplay to it and it's a winner.

What, like being able to see other app users on the map and zapping them if you get in LOS? Could be a laff!

Who knows. No reason why it couldn't be a proper RTS but where the gameworld is based on the real world

You could possibly mash up any gps tracking with google maps to achieve this but this is far beyond my skills

Anything bar very basic windows programs are beyond my skills :/ Would be fun though lol.
