Got invited to an #ULUG gathering held today yesterday, and got asked to hold a presentation about Maps, so did a quick ad-hoc presentation (also including some OpenStreetMap and Transitous mentioning) 😎

Discovered #bluesky after being a user on the mapstodon #mastodon decentralised network. You will see a fair bit of #academic chatter and #research on my page here.

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.

I had to look up the graph @goose.art posted and I see its from a "limited" data set collected in 2022 so I am pretty sure it would look quite different today, though mastodon.social would still be quite huge.

As an early Christmas present, I treated myself to a poster of the Spilhaus projection. I always loved this view on the planet. The map is now living in our house 😃.

This is a fantastic version from www.le-cartographe.net

Assuming an even depth (or cut-off at sea level), where is the centre of mass of the UK? (Bonus points if the answer accounts for mountainous regions.) #geography #mapstodon #maps #geo #gis

At the #galata sea museum in #genova you can browse historical maps from all over the world via several touchscreens. When you find something you like, you can ask the system to send you the file via email. Nice!

Now that we have a preferences dialog in Maps (for handling offline downloads), I played a bit with moving the other settings we already had in the main and layers menus into a decicated “General” page in the preferences dialog.

After some trial-and-error I finally managed to wrap my around how to make a radial gradient effect using GSK for new redesigned current location widget (showing a "heading torch")

This is a good and very quotable piece about community managed social media.

To lure you in, one choice quote: "This isn’t deliberate exclusion, but it means English-speaking members often mistake their fediverse for the fediverse."

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! 😎
