Overview

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

Get it on F-Droid Translation status

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)
    • Manually clear app cache if necessary, may be addressed in future

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
