navigation app.

How it works and privacy considerationsGeo Share converts map links (e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/...) into geo: links that can be opened by other map apps. To create a geo: link, geographic coordinates are required. Geo Share extracts them from the map URL.
However, not all map URLs include coordinates. In such cases, Geo Share will
prompt you for permission to connect to the map service (Google Maps, Apple Maps etc.) and retrieve the coordinates from either HTTP headers or the HTML document of the link. For more detailed information, check the app’s FAQ screen.
Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.
Anti-Features: NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ Connects to map servers (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.) to decode links.
