The entire map is covered in fog. It clears only where you have walked.
Footprints is a personal travel archive that engraves every place you have visited onto a map. With every step, the fog lifts, and as records accumulate, the map becomes the very trajectory of your life.
Hiking, domestic travel, cafe hopping, camping, walking trails — the map opens up as much as you record.
■ Fog Map That Opens as You Walk
· Only the paths you have passed are permanently cleared, and once cleared, the areas do not disappear.
· You can manually adjust the clearing radius from 15m to 100m.
· Filters out GPS glitches to neatly record only the actual path you walked.
■ Visit History That Finishes in 1 Second
· Automatically populates the place name and address of your current location.
· You can add star ratings, notes, hashtags, and photos.
· When you are busy, just save your location with a single 'Quick Record'.
· If you visit the same place again, it is automatically grouped into a single location.
· If you stay at a place for more than 10 minutes, a message will appear asking, "Would you like to record this?" Ask first (Optional)

■ Location Information Usage Guide
Footprints collects location information even when the screen is off or the app is not in use. This is to provide features such as recording hiking and walking routes, fog map clearing, automatic detection of visited locations, and notifications for arriving at famous mountains. It operates only when these features are enabled. Collected location information is stored only within the device and is not transmitted externally; it stops immediately if each feature is turned off in Settings.
