Regarding my “Islands & Continents” map¹ that I posted last February 2025, I double-checked and I actually missed Taiwan which I first visited on a transit stop at TPE airport in 2012. Oops.
So here’s an updated map correcting this oversight.

Calling #mapstodon !!! Also #librarians and #archivists !!!
I used a lot of old maps in my work for York Library and Archive, which I'm proud to say are on permanent display.
But I'm running out of maps!
If anyone has any old sheet maps (see pic for examples) - not the folded retail sort - that need a new home, please could i have them?!?!
I would love to make you something from them in return, if you'd like.
Thank you!!!#maps #cartography #librariansofmastodon #oldMaps #archivistodon

Today i turned a map into a hexagonal dipyramid.... It's held together by hope and a deep breath mostly, but I'm hoping the result will be good.
For an exhibition about architecture and landscape.

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!

Done mapping all 25 #barangays of Minalabac, Camarines Sur, #Philippines 🇵🇭 in #OpenStreetMap, creating/updating their #Wikidata items, and linking the two with each other.
Wanna play around? Here is the Overpass Turbo query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2mza

“[Niantic Spatial]’s latest product is a model that it says can pinpoint your location on a map to within a few centimeters, based on a handful of snapshots of the buildings or other landmarks in view. The firm wants to use it to help robots navigate with greater precision in places where GPS is unreliable.”

Rolled the releases for GNOME 50 today (a bit early, but I'll be busy all day tomorrow):
Maps 50.0
libshumate 1.6.0and 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… 😎

Just rolled the RC tarballs for Maps and libshumate for the upcoming GNOME 50 relase
gnome-maps 50.rc
libshumate 1.6.rcChanges 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).#transitous #gnomemaps #mapstodon #PublicTransit #localization

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. -
I recently learned of this #JS library that works with #LeafletJS, @openlayers, or @maplibre to modify the most popular #OpenStreetMap-based raster tilesets to comply with strict Indian laws about depicting #India’s 🇮🇳 borders.

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.

Officially “made use of” the year 2026 yesterday, when updating the copyright year in the about dialog for Maps.
And also, btw added a source file with copyright year 2026 some week ago (a specialization of the Place class for handling “stop places” from Transitous/MOTIS, enabling to mark places from public transit itineraries as bookmarks/favorites.

Just tagged Maps 50.alpha and libshumate 1.6.alpha for GNOME 50:
Containing, among others, the new sidebar redesign, public transit journey redesign, using Transitous for all public transit routingm, and porting of UI templates to Blueprint for Maps.
And for libshumate the option to compile without the vector renderer has been removed, the vector renderer has gained support for "global-state" expressions.

What a brilliant idea to have an animated/interactive cartogram of the world’s population! 🗺️

Literally a map showing all the buildings in the world. “…Other than being cool to look at, the researchers created the project to serve a socioeconomic and environmental purpose. For instance, such a comprehensive, bird’s-eye-view map offers detailed information about the “footprint” of urbanization and poverty around the world…” #map #maps #mapstodon #urbanization #UrbanPlanning #urban #cities

Finally got momentum on the redesigned I planned for Maps for GNOME 50, redesigning the sidebar a bit (taking a bit inspiration from Nucleus) with the aim of ultimatly it use an AdwMultiLayoutView using a bottom sheet in narrow/mobile mode. And showing place info in there as well…
Right now in a state of a bit "first break it, then fix it"… 😄

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 1️⃣: Points
Third year participating! 🎉
I guess I’m starting the tradition of using the same map style for Day 1 that I did for 2023¹ and 2024². So here’s a map of all the cities and towns in the #Philippines that have Spanish names of saints because November 1st is All Saints’ Day³.
All map data come from #OpenStreetMap and rendered using @leaflet. 🧵 1/2

Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing Lua scripts on 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 trolley bus.

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 national and regional roads in Argentina.
Also rolled stable point releases for the 48 and 47 branches…

Germany has a lot of roads called "Sackgasse" (dead-end road).
However, some of them have no dead ends at all. What a scam!
I've challenged myself to find them and used the resulting #Overpass query as an example in my workshop today at @FrOSCon.
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/29ZE
(the query may need a minute to execute)I have added a lot of comments to explain how it works, and I have added it to the example queries in the #OSM wiki.

Cool local culture blog and newsletter did a retrospective of Cecily Peele (1892-1984), an early 20th century woman author and mapmaker who co-ran a small printing/craft workshop right in the middle of the city, just down the back of the Ashmolean @oxford

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 using the "user details" OSM JSON API.
Though, this will not be GNOME 49 material, as we're passed the UI freeze deadline by now…

Tarballs are now out for GNOME 49 beta release for Maps and libshumate.
Among the new stuff for Maps:
It now shows the localized highways shields (when definitions are available) in the place details for road labelsThe POI search interface has an option for searching for vegan/vegetarian restaurants (this was an old proposal I got IRL at GUADEC 2023, but kinda forgot).
And in libshumate it is now possible to (non-center) align map markers.

With the #OpenStreetMap website’s new #VectorTiles, it’s nice to see that we can zoom in to level 23! Unfortunately, if the vector coordinates are not stored with OSM’s 7 decimal places for higher-zoom tiles, then what’s the point of all that zoom? 👀
