GMaps WV not working in Street View - anyone else seeing the same?

Although the thumbnail images appear when selecting a point on the map in GMaps WV, tapping any of these does not show the full Street View image, just a black screen.

There is an issue raised in GitHub ( bug: New issues with Street View · Issue #60 · woheller69/maps · GitHub ), but I thought I’d check here if anyone’s seeing the same using /e/os before adding to that.

The developer reports it works OK for them.

Sorry, not using google services on a degoogled smartphone.

Because i choose one of these.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn’t really address my issue.

I use CoMaps (changed from Organic Maps quite a while ago now), as well as Magic Earth and OSMAnd~ depending on what I need at the time.

GMaps WV is useful for the odd occasions I want Street View, not available in the alternatives.
“GMaps WV is a WebView wrapper for using Google Maps without exposing your device.”

author says it works for him. Maybe it’s up to the cromite webview - bug: New issues with Street View · Issue #60 · woheller69/maps · GitHub

Yes, one of the reasons I posted here to see whether others were seeing the same issue.

I can confirm that some photos do not load as demonstrated in the issue, others at different POI do though.

Thank you! I did some more testing after reading your reply and found that if I tap on a POI, the pictures there do seem to usually load.

If I select a specific point on a street by long-pressing on the street, which is how I always use it, although the thumbnails appear the pictures do not load full-screen.

I’ll do a bit more testing then report further in the GMaps WV issue. Any further comments appreciated!
