Does anyone know if there is an app that will produce a similar map, but that uses just your own data? I would love to have a map like that that shows where in my city I have been and that would encourage me to see more spots.

OpenPaths (https://openpaths.cc/) is also a good passive location tracking tool. It's not being actively developed anymore and prone to long loading times, but I've been using it for over a year. Their visualization is pretty good and you can export your data in a variety of formats.

Moves (http://moves-app.com) is also good for passive location tracking. Good data export options and some nice mapping integrations with third party services (http://quantifiedself.com/2014/03/map-moves-data/). Disclaimer: Moves is a Facebook entity so caveat emptor

I haven't used it, but I remember hearing about "Fog of World"[1], which seems like it might be what you're looking for.

Strava will let you do this if you pay for premium. It's called Personal Heatmaps. It's typically used for running/cycling/swimming, but nothing stops you from using it to track your location.

I use Strava for my runs and rides, and you can get the heatmap (or at least similar) through the third party VeloViewer (http://veloviewer.com/) by looking at your "wheel".

I basically want my always on and exportable Moves (http://moves-app.com/) data to port into "Personal Heatmaps" of Strava.

Google Location History might have something (even if you don't expect it to) [1]
