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 […]

A poster of the Spilhaus projection: a map of the earth with the oceans at the centre.
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

An excerpt of the "They Would Not Take Me There" map co-created by Margaret Pearce. A blue and green map of part of the St. Lawrence River showing labels, fragmentary stories, and other textual fragments written in French, English, and native languages
A photo of an installation view of Tonika Johnson's "Folded Map" project in Chicago, showing a map covered with pushpins and sticky notes, and two large photos of two houses that share the same address, but one on North Damen street and one on the opposite side of Chicago on South Damen street.
I love that two amazing map-makers won MacArthur Foundation genius grants this year: Tonika Lewis Johnson, and Margaret Wickens Pearce.
Pearce's work in particular I've been following for years, and according to Wikipedia she is the first awardee in history […]

A little line drawing of a woolly mammoth on the first of her published maps, whose remains were found just off Longwall Street. I think it's now at the natural history museum in Oxford. It's labelled "mammoth found here" with a little arrow. "Here be mastodons!"!
Calligraphic frontispiece of another of Peele's works, her illustrated “Encyclopædia of British Bogies”, a guide to folkloric creatures of the British isles.
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 […]

Screenshots showing after the considered change in contrast to the current looks.
What do you think, is this an […]

Place details in GNOME Maps showing the shield for US Interstate 40
As the next step after making road labels and markers directly clickable in Maps, maybe showing the road shield in details might be nice…

Hey GIS mapping friends. I was a StoryMaps user for years for blogs, but the platform went away and I can't migrate to ArcGIS because I use a Chromebook (it's all I need).
BTW, everything I ever wrote has been deleted.
What do you think of Felt? It seems built for online-only users like me. I […]

Showing Piccadilly Circus in London in GNOME Maps with the icon in the button for directions having the "take an exit" pointing left.
Showing Hagaparken in Solna in GNOME Maps with the icon in the button for directions having the "take an exit" pointing right.
By the way, I guess the icon for "Directions" should probably be pointing to the left in regions with left-hand road traffic… 😀🛣️🧭
