ClearedMap vs Retro Game Guides

ClearedMap is an unofficial fan-made web platform with interactive maps, progress checklists, and tools for open-world games. Community contributors survey markers and publish them with screenshot proof; the project says it does not use datamined material. The free plan costs nothing and includes every map and marker, an unlimited checklist, notes, and drawings, without requiring an account. Checklist progress is stored in the browser. Signing in enables backup and syncing across devices and a shareable link to progress. Pro currently adds a founding badge, custom marker collections, and a route planner that orders markers still needed. ClearedMap Pro costs $2.99 a month, or 19.99 USD one payment for the founding plan, valid for as long as the site exists. Ad-free browsing and a vote on the next game hub are listed as being built. The platform covers three games; its fan-contributed marker data remains a work in progress, and visitors can report errors.

Retro Game Guides is an iPhone and iPad offline reader and library for classic game walkthroughs. Reflow, Original, and No wrap layouts provide different reading presentations; Reflow adjusts prose to the phone width while preserving recognized maps and tables. Guide headings become a Contents view, search results include surrounding passage context, and each guide keeps its reading position. Readers can highlight passages, add notes, and bookmark locations, collected in the Notes tab. Plain-text imports up to 10 MB support folder previews, duplicate skipping, and review of uncertain matches. Supported online guide pages can be saved as attributed text snapshots for offline reading. The library also includes original Standard Edition walkthroughs whose pages identify game platform and route scope. Once content is available on-device, reading, organization, search, progress, favorites, bookmarks, highlights, and notes work offline. The maker says there is no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, or cloud-sync service. The free plan covers up to three games; Unlimited Library costs $4.99, paid once.
