GMaps WV

Forked from https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/maps which has been archived by the developer.

Overview

GMaps WV is a WebView wrapper for using Google Maps without exposing your device.

Features

• Clears private data on close
• Blocks access to Google trackers and other third-party resources
• Restricts all network requests to HTTPS
• Allows toggling of location permission

Downsides

• Navigation is not available, only turn-by-turn direction list
• WebRTC isn't blocked due to WebView limitations
• Cache isn't cleared due to resource/data considerations, however could allow tracking without other data (cookies)

Credits

• @woheller69 for discovering that page loaded resources weren't being blocked
• @woheller69 for adding proper location support
• @woheller69 for adding location sharing to other map apps
• @woheller69 for disabling WebView telemetry
• R Raj for the sharing intent support
