Screenshot of GNOME Maps with experimental support for showing public transit departure and arrival tracks
Experimenting with showing platform information for the public transit itineraries in Maps (when available from datasets).
Maybe these labels spelling out "Departing from…" and so on are a bit "wordy"…

GNOME Maps route planner UI
GNOME Maps route mode switcher with a monorail icon
Predicting maglev trains might reach a break-through during 2026, I think it might be time to change the “default generic” icon in the route mode switcher widget for transit in Maps from the current train to a new variant!

Didn't yet do a write-up about the new stuff, guess that'll have to be done […]

Now that the new release of MOTIS with translation support has been deployed for Transitous, I implemented support for passing the language of user's locale(s) to the API.
This shows an itinerary rendered in Japanese and in the second example with romanized […]

Panorama poster over central Uppsala from 1994.
GNOME Maps zoomed in to show approximatly the same view as in panoramic poster in previous photo
Found this old poster I hadn't had up on the wall since moving from the apartment I used to live in until 2009.
Featuring a panoramic “aerial photo-like” view of central Uppsala from 1994 drawn by Madgalena Koronyńska in 1994.
I also tried reproduce the view […]

Screenshot of GNOME Maps showing public transit itineraries in Landskrona, with some itineraries' information augmented to use the route type for trolley buses.
Screenshot of GNOME Maps showing public transit itineraries augmented with metro route colors in Stockholm.
Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing of GTFS feed data in Transitous.
I added a script to add route colors to some of the routes in the Swedish national feed from Trafiklab. Also set the route type for Landskrona's bus route 3 to […]

As I already happened to tag 49.rc for Maps already last Saturday, although the actual release date for the RC should have been today, I did in additional import of the highway shields defintions from OSM-Americana. So now we will also support shield for […]

Implemented loading the user's account avatar, and displaying it in place of the "default user avatar" symbolic icon in the OpenStreetMap account setup dialog (for OAuth setup of your OSM account for editing POIs in Maps). After a suggestion by @pigeon_ about […]

Tarballs are now out for GNOME 49 beta release for Maps and libshumate.

The POI search interface has an option for searching for vegan/vegetarian […]
GNOME Maps showing softer label colors for towns
GNOME Maps showing (current style) with pitch black labels for towns.
Considering as a change (before the UI freeze for GNOME 49 in early August) toning down the colors of labels for cities and towns in Maps.
Screenshots showing after the considered change in contrast to the current looks.
What do you think, is this an […]

Place details in GNOME Maps showing the shield for US Interstate 40
As the next step after making road labels and markers directly clickable in Maps, maybe showing the road shield in details might be nice…

I forgot about the tarballs for the GNOME 49.alpha pre-release this Saturday…
But now they are out for Maps 49.alpha and libshumate 1.5.alpha anyway 😎

Showing Piccadilly Circus in London in GNOME Maps with the icon in the button for directions having the "take an exit" pointing left.
Showing Hagaparken in Solna in GNOME Maps with the icon in the button for directions having the "take an exit" pointing right.
By the way, I guess the icon for "Directions" should probably be pointing to the left in regions with left-hand road traffic… 😀🛣️🧭

GNOME Maps showing a place info popover for 5:th Avenue in New York City.
Making more things directly “clickable” in Maps, like streets…
Another idea as a follow-up on this to add functionallity to the highway shield library to be able to get a paintable object given a place' network tags. So that we could show that instead of the […]
