Thanks to hard work by @flyingpimonster Maps now supports downloading map areas for offline use!

This has been a long-awaited feature and will finally be available in GNOME 51.

Experimenting with showing walking leg durations (in minutes) for public transit itiniraries in the overview list in Maps…

Does this makes sense, or would be confusing (maybe mixing it up with the line number/name badges shown for transit legs?).

By the way, I guess the icon for "Directions" should probably be pointing to the left in regions with left-hand road traffic… 😀🛣️🧭

Maps and GNOME 48
In a few days it's time for the GNOME 48 release. So it's time to make a wrap-up with the last changes in Maps for the next release. ## Redesigned Route Markers One issue that has been addressed was that the old markers we used to mark the start and end locations for routes, being filled and hollow circle icons respectively could be hard to tell apart and actually see which is which. So now to mark the start we show a marker containing the icon representing the mode of transportation. The “walk” icon is also used for start of “walking legs” in public transit iteneraries, so this way it's getting a more consistent look. ## Redesigned User Location Marker This was already covered in an earlier blog post, but it might be worth mentioning especially now that we once again have WiFi- and Celltower-based positioning again thanks to BeaconDB (it's already enabled by default in Fedora 41, and I think some other distros as well). We now have the redesigned location marker, using the system accent color. ## Transitous Public Transit Routing Migrated to new API Furthermore the Transitous support has been migrated to the MOTIS 2-based API. This has also been backported to the 47.x releases (as the old API has been retired). Also public transit routing in Finland will start using Transitous from 48. As Digitransit has slated the retirement of their old OpenTripPlanner 1.x-based API from late April it seemed appropriate to start using Transitous for that region now. ## Transitous Talk at FOSDEM 2025 When mentioning Transitous I also want to mention that the recording of mine, Felix Gündling's, and Jonah Brüchert's FOSDEM talk around Transitous is now available at: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4105-gnome-maps-meets-transitous-meets-motis/ So, please enjoy this, and all the other improvements in GNOME 48 when you grab it! 😎

Got a bit further on the departures/arrivals view feature.

Now shows a toggle group with tranportation modes available for the selected station/stop (when there are multiple modes served at the location) allowing filtering what to show.

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"…

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!

Changes include support for getting localized results for public transit routing (using Transitous).
