frakegps's Issues

Add tests

It would be nice to have tests.

Please add details about the license which is used. It would be appreciate if there is also a license file that contains the actual license text.

libsoup3 support

Hi Francesco,

it would be great if you could migrate away from libsoup2:

error: failed to run custom build command for `soup-sys v0.10.0`
  --- stderr
  Package libsoup-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Is frakegps itself using soup-sys or just via https://github.com/tauri-apps/webkit2gtk-rs ?

Crashes when clicking on the map

I tried to run frakegps but got a crash when clicking on the map:
