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!

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.
