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.
Is the map data federated?
Well, it’s dumb data, so we don’t speak of federation (which happens between services), but basically yes.
Anyone can download the data and the TL;DR for your right to using the data is:
You are free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt our data, as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors.
As a result, there are also many servers which mirror the data, i.e. provide a separate copy you can download, which is effectively like federation.
Y’all should try Ingress. 😅 Doesn’t really have fog of war, but you do get to visit art in search of portals for portal-keys. 😜
It’s the company that made Pokemon Go’s more-serious first app that came out years before P-Go did, as one of the first of its kind, though it only got interest from the more niche communities. I played it until G+ got slaughtered, as it was the main base of communications and Ingress communities.
Everyone in this thread should try geocaching! It is really fun
