Just rolled the latest release tar balls for Maps (51.alpha) and libshumate (1.7.alpha) for the GNOME 51 development cycle
And Maps 50.2, and libshumate 1.6.2 and 1.5.4
for the stable branches
Including, among others, the offline map download support and public transit departure boards for Maps 51.alpha and improvements to vector map sources for libshumate which will enable some nice refactorings in how build the vector map style later on, among other changes
@pocketvj not the version I was using. But #gnomemaps very recently added initial support for offline map tiles:

So tl;dr
It's getting there soon :)
No gpx track (cause I forgot to record :x )
A short bike ride close to the Tagus river in #lisbon.
But for the lulz of it used #gnomemaps for navigation on a #oneplus6 with #mobian and #phosh and using the #gps .
And yes the blue dot did moved accurately, and I was slow :)
Screen recording of gnome maps being used for the navigation:
Just a heads-up for those doing development on Maps (e.g. running from within GNOME Builder), or running the nightly Flatpak release. Currently there is a regression in GJS preventing applications launching Gio.Application using runAsync().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/work_items/738
As a workaround, one can (temporarily) edit the flatpak manifest in the git clone (when playing with development), or use the --runtime=50 flag (with flatpak run) when running the nightly. Until this gets resolved.
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.
Another little “side project”: putting some more on Sweden (“färgläggning”)…
Have spent some time lately to extend (and refactor) the Lua script that I wrote some time ago for post-processing the GTFS data from Trafiklab in Transitous. Especially in Kiruna, the likelyhood of the mapping from line name to color seems extra stable, and less likely to change… 😄

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.

Made some more progress on the implementation of the “stoptimes” API from MOTIS in Maps.
Now actually showing departures (or arrivals) in the place details when clicking on a “public transit-type“ place (station etc.), when there's data available in Transitous.
The rows still only shows the transit mode icon and line number/name (e.g. missing time, destination and so on…)

Just added a first version of a contributing guide for Maps:
