Add feature to mask metadata from Google Maps API #113

the metadata from Google's API holds location information. For some locations, city names are included. Adding a feature to mask this metadata would improve the game's reputation to be adversive to cheaters.

Hello, I would like to take on this feature request.

I appreciate the idea, but the Google Maps API gets called client side, so I don't know how you could go about masking the metadata. Do you or @sachinkhanna1000 have any suggestions?
