Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android 14 with the reported microG Core version, following the four steps in the report and checking the no-internet message before the error screen. Trace the Google Maps Timeline handling from there; done means Timeline opens and loads instead of reporting that the device type is unsupported.
