Reveal your city by walking it [Beta]

Beta / Testing

Hello everyone,

The idea came to me because I got tired of walking the same routes in London every day, so I created Wondermap: a fog-of-war map that reveals as you explore on foot.

Your city starts completely covered. Every street you physically walk uncovers the map. Over time you build a personal record of everywhere you've ever been. There's a passive mode that runs quietly ithe background so it fills in as you live your life.

I've already found a garden near Tower Bridge I'd lived near for years and never knew existed - that's the kind of thing this app exists for.

What I'm looking for: genuine feedback - what feels good, what's confusing, what's missing. Not looking for cheerleaders, looking for honest testers.

On the roadmap: quests that send you to neighborhoods you'd never normally visit, points of interest hidden in the fog, and a game mode for more intentional exploration.

A few things worth knowing:

  • Completely free, no ads, no monetization
  • Location data stays on your device and Firebase - never sold or shared
  • Passive mode is a toggle and has to be explicitly enabled on start (for privacy control)
  • Early build, expect rough edges, but stable for daily use

To join: drop a Gmail address in the comments or DM me and I'll add you to the closed beta. It doesn't need to be your personal email - any Google account linked to the Play Store works. You'll receive access to the app in closed beta on the link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondermap.app

Thank you.
