I like this idea a lot. I remember there used to be apps on Facebook that listed the states someone had been to. They were fairly popular for a while.

If this can tap into that same urge, I think it could do pretty well.

I love this concept, I already think about maps this way in my head, I'd love a way to externalize it!

Unfortunately though I don't want it on game center, I want it in some sort of open exportable data that I can access, perhaps make a widget for my website out of, or update from other devices.

This is a wonderful idea. It would be really interesting if you could "ally" someone else to combine mini-maps. With this feature, you wouldn't just know where everyone has been, but you can also map their social graph!

What is this thing? Achievement badges for going places? I don't know the "Fog of War" strategy game reference which would likely contextualize it.

This is totally going to be cool for use while riding my bike to work. I've been toying with the idea of exploring new paths on my 11 mile commute and this gives me a way to map them all out and the incentive to do so.
