Description

Telegram, Whatsapp and many other applications require google maps to determine and to share the location. But you can navigate the geodata from these applications with any navigator. I use the osmand. As a result, I install Google maps and freeze them, while applications no longer swear at the lack of maps. Maybe you can, without installing Google maps, throw some libraries, or some kind of framework to fool such applications? Or, for example, create an application of type Fakestore, for example Fakemaps?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested compatibility behavior for Telegram, WhatsApp, and other applications that expect Google Maps, including the proposed use of OsmAnd or a Fakemaps-style application. No source files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria are named, so the scope and definition of done need to be established before implementation.
