      That is gmaps wv. The last commits 2 years ago were for weblate translation and license updates. The commits before that were to update cradle keyrings 4 years ago.

      Gmaps wv is a dead project, look at the issues people submitted to get an idea what was broken when:

      • streetview link stopped working in early 2024
      • no access to fine grained GPS location since 2023
      • problems with access to location providers altogether

      Google is actively breaking anonymous access to gmaps, so those things are also breaking
