# Sync & backup

> Your painted map backs up to your account and follows you across devices — and you can reset it whenever you want.

Your map lives on your **device** first, and backs up to your **account** so it's safe and follows
you. What travels to the server is only the **set of roads you've painted** — never where or when you
actually went.

## Your map, backed up

<Steps>
  <Step title="It paints on your device">
    Every painted road is stored locally first, so the map works instantly and fully offline — your
    phone is always the source of truth.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Only painted roads sync">
    In the background, the **list of roads you've painted** (plus your coverage totals) backs up to
    your account. Your raw location trail never leaves the phone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It follows you to a new device">
    Sign in on another phone and your painted map is restored from the backup — pick up exactly where
    you left off, on every device.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reset your map

Want a clean slate? **Reset map** clears every painted road and sets your coverage back to zero, so
you can start fogged again.

<Warning>
  Resetting your map is **permanent** — the painted roads are cleared everywhere, including the backup
  on your account, and can't be recovered. Your city starts fully fogged again.
</Warning>
