Editor's Overview

Foggy Maps is a navigation application developed by Carlos Asmat, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.7 weighing in at 3.87 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.87 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Carlos Asmat" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Foggy Maps is a personal exploration map. The whole world starts hidden under a semi-transparent violet fog; as you physically move, the fog dissipates along your path, permanently, with soft dithered edges. The filled-in map becomes a lifetime record of where you have been.

It is not a social network. Your location data stays on your device and moves only where you explicitly send it. Logging, fog clearing and rendering all work offline, and the app asks for nothing on first launch: the map opens fogged, and each permission is requested at the moment you switch the feature on.

Features:

* Live GPS fog clearing on a pixel-art top-down map. The reveal radius follows the fix's own reported accuracy, nudged by the terrain under it, so a precise fix marks a small disc and a vague one is thrown away.
* Dithered gradient fog drawn by a GPU shader, pixel-locked at every zoom.
* Raw track points and a per-tile heatmap stored locally in SQLite. The heatmap is a cache the app can throw away and rebuild from the points.
* A dated stamp for the first visit to each city, region and country, collected in a scrapbook passport beside the landmarks and badges you have found.
* Cleared ground counts as XP up a ladder of real-world landmarks, rewarding new ground only: no streaks, no daily-engagement pressure.
* Photos pin to a spot, clear the fog around them, and sit on the map as thumbnails.
* Import GPX or Google Timeline history. Export GPX or a full JSON backup.
* Optional WebDAV backup to your own Nextcloud, on startup, daily and on demand. Off until you configure a server.
* Landmark and badge packs are plain JSON, loadable at runtime with no app update.

Online OpenStreetMap data (the OpenFreeMap basemap, Overpass for terrain and place names) is on by default and can be turned off in settings; with it off, the app makes no network requests. While it is on, the app fetches public map data for the area you visit, which discloses your rough location to those servers, and caches it on the device. Both endpoints can be pointed at a server of your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Foggy Maps free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Foggy Maps require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Foggy Maps safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Carlos Asmat. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Foggy Maps?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
