This app is built around real places near you — finding them, walking to them, and checking in only once you're actually there. Without location access, that core loop can't work.
Achievement Unlocked
Explore Nearby
A bit of everything nearby — parks, shops, bars, restaurants.
Public parks and trails close by — free places, not shops.
Bookshops, boutiques, and other neighborhood stores nearby.
Dive bars, wine bars, diners, and neighborhood spots to eat and drink.
Landmarks, monuments, and museums close by.
Ordinary places where something happened. The diner from the film, the bar where the band got its name, etc.
Search the address, or tap the map to drop a pin right where it is. Then tell us why it's worth finding.
History is a place that matters — a landmark, a monument, somewhere old. Lore & Legends is an ordinary place where something happened — the diner from the film, the bar where the band got its name. Not sure? Pick either, we'll sort it out.
Shown on this gem, so the people who find it know a real person picked it. Change it any time in Settings — it updates everywhere.
Bar crawl list, a friend's vacation guide, a scout troop challenge — if someone gave you a code, it goes here.
Tap the map to drop pins. Move around (or use simulate mode) to set each spot.
Type a name above, then tap the map where that spot is.
Every spot you find earns a stamp here — start collecting.

Leave it empty and no name is shown — your gems stay on the map either way.
Nahgoo doesn't store your location. Your position is used in the moment — to draw the map and measure how far away a pin is — and then it's gone.
What's kept in your account:
Only you can read your capture history. It is never shown to another user.
Kept for as long as your account is open. A separate integrity record — GPS accuracy at capture, no coordinates — is deleted after 30 days.
Read the full privacy policy — including every service that receives anything, and how to ask for your data or its deletion.
