This is reposted all the time and the answer has kept being: Pikmin Bloom. It’s F2P, you reveal the areas you physically visit and the rest of the map is grey. It’ll track your steps and location in the background, so all you have to do is have your phone on you.
Everytime somebody of your family or friends is inside the known area there should be an alert: reinforcement has arrived.
Or an alert about new options if you unfog a new building like a restaurant.
You can see this in Waze if you open the map editor. you can only edit a certain radius around where you’ve been, so your editable area is like a fog of war.
So… how do you open the map editor these days? I used Waze and added roads and stuff back in the day before Google bought it, but I just opened the app and can’t seem to get back into that “mode”. Sorry for the dumb question…
It’s not exactly the same, but I can vouch for StreetComplete being an incredibly good/similar game. You walk around the real world, and the app points out missing data in OpenStreetMap that you can fill in easily. You get the dopamine of a number going up, help dethrone proprietary map dominamce, and get some good excercise in in the process.
