Google Maps Webapp strange behaviour
-
When I open the Google Maps Webapp, it doesn't open the maps anymore in its window. Instead, it opens the maps in the Morph Browser while the Google Maps Webapp window remains blank. If Morph Browser was previously open, then it opens two tabs with maps. If Morph was not open then it opens Morph and only one tab with the maps.
This happened recently, I think after the last week update of the RC channel (version 20). Device: Pro5.
Anybody else experienced this?

@mihael it happened to me also with other webapps
-
@malditobastardo Exactly, like trying to open an image from Skype Webapp it redirects to Morph and it doesn't work either to display the image. Before it was opening the image right there in the Skype Webapp...

I am going to load up an alternative to the current Google Maps Webapp to the Open Store later today that should fix that.

@totalsonic Thank you so, so much!!!

ok - it's up - just search in the OpenStore for "GoogleMaps UT" - hopefully it should work out for you - but it tested out fine on my OnePlus One with 16.04 OTA5 stable.

@totalsonic It works great! Again, a big thank you!!!

The thanks really needs to go to the developers of the "Webapp Creator" app - really just a fantastic tool for making life a lot easier on Ubuntu Touch. All I did was fill in the fields in its forms, find a suitable icon online, hit "Share" and then fill out the fields in the Open Store uploader. Great stuff - but very glad the half hour spent I did on this doesn't have to take up the time of others that similarly need decent interfaces for Google Maps or Facebook on their phones. Next webapps I am going to post are ways of hailing rides for Lyft and Uber via Webapp Creator made webapps (even if both of those things really could use native apps).

@totalsonic I am playing now with Webapp Creator which is a great tool! I cannot make though an app for web.skype.com - it says in the end that skype for web doesn't work on this device... I tried different User Agents when I created the webapp and all gave the same result. Would you have any ideas how to make this work? Thank you again!

@mihael well, that kind of problem is pretty normal when you try to work with proprietary and closed software. Maybe you can find a hint for that issue at https://dev.skype.com/
Edit: have you tried https://open-store.io/app/hublin.costales or https://open-store.io/app/appearin.milkor?

@advocatux Yes, thank you, I use both of them.
