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Forked from https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/maps which has been archived by the developer.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

[](https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/)

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
