Marcus LundbladExperimenting 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!

Rolled the releases for GNOME 50 today (a bit early, but I'll be busy all day tomorrow):
Maps 50.0
libshumate 1.6.0
and also a (small) bugfix 49.5 on the (old) stable branch.
Didn't yet do a write-up about the new stuff, guess that'll have to be done sometime soonish, too… 😎
Very early PoC implementing the “stoptimes” endpoint in MOTIS in Maps for (eventually) displaying departures/arrivals for public transit stations/stops from Transitous

Today we can celebrate Maps' 13:th birthday
This was the first commit in the Git repo

So, entering the teens now! 🥳
Just rolled the RC tarballs for Maps and libshumate for the upcoming GNOME 50 relase
gnome-maps 50.rc
libshumate 1.6.rc
Changes include support for getting localized results for public transit routing (using Transitous).

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 names (this relies on translation.txt being present in the corresponding GTFS feed data, though).

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 in Maps.
Some things have changed in 32 years (like the house we live in now was some 15 years before being built.
Just rolled beta releases of Maps and libshumate (50.beta and 1.6.beta) for the upcoming GNOME 50 release, and also stable releases (49.4, 48.9, and 1.5.3, 1.4.1 respectively) before traveling to Brussels for FOSDEM tommorow evening.
One improvement in 50.beta consists of showing more text from the article extract from Wikipedia in “desktop mode” when there is more space.
