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 […]

I had a travel dream where I was in the wrong NSW country town. This time I knew I had my #FLX1s with Gnome Maps and #Transitous, so it's easy to find out how to take a bus back. Then I woke up and checked, yes, that would have worked fine. (1/2)

I don't know if you already know #transitous but if you don't it is worth to have a look at it. It's some kind of routing system #freesoftware based mainly on open protocols as well as some APIs.

It combines every kind of public transport to route, sometimes you need to check how to write start […]

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! 😎

The labels are now drawn directly using GSK instead of piggy-backing on a GtkLabel, doing some Cairo drawing on top of that. One additional benefit here is that it also gets rid of some of the remaining usages of the GdkPixbuf APIs (which will be gone in a future GTK 5).<br/></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSNsad-U4qKlophY9Y_Z0r_USwKkEmQpXobNBCExaBbQ67S2yQ4uYQDAI-AnapPkRQE5p6kPgjQNWkWbQ-ORHZES5f5-mW-HrvV2aZ60fksWwB67ID1MU0ePTryP4ijVdglbAy6qNA1zE42aRQbsjnqm-vJBOBII7vMd36C3lUJiBm-Gq6Fn7NBULK/s1197/itinerary-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSNsad-U4qKlophY9Y_Z0r_USwKkEmQpXobNBCExaBbQ67S2yQ4uYQDAI-AnapPkRQE5p6kPgjQNWkWbQ-ORHZES5f5-mW-HrvV2aZ60fksWwB67ID1MU0ePTryP4ijVdglbAy6qNA1zE42aRQbsjnqm-vJBOBII7vMd36C3lUJiBm-Gq6Fn7NBULK/s16000/itinerary-redesign.png"/></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkk2496zVln7RYOdqmeXFkHgCvbI0Ig43tTJHDprTsCTrJuyA7Hnt-0Lh3o6-15FM90opohMhRRmiYXSMIxzt8ldeJrLDhVoy34KSCJX-EWntRpc-BQ190NNTQYytGqktnq_WkX7FdHEOhI8VFlup0kOXOMHERxuitXEERD9ve21xuA-9K7gkMDpt/s1197/itineraries-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkk2496zVln7RYOdqmeXFkHgCvbI0Ig43tTJHDprTsCTrJuyA7Hnt-0Lh3o6-15FM90opohMhRRmiYXSMIxzt8ldeJrLDhVoy34KSCJX-EWntRpc-BQ190NNTQYytGqktnq_WkX7FdHEOhI8VFlup0kOXOMHERxuitXEERD9ve21xuA-9K7gkMDpt/s16000/itineraries-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM41Ur-9OJeRK_66wNUmc95MafCOhzsr_nzbovVGSPUzA-T1LZ8X0IEvTPW_2lylFGV73R67s6UbQS4gvt8hvk9rOgFh0LP6CPrmOS_SVXum1yxPEtXkItw7QNvf-WNKPR5fYfPOr-YUetoJaUXAuKzifCxXcXsHygFF8-YoIzZrgZV20rsr-dAVqU/s533/transit-board-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM41Ur-9OJeRK_66wNUmc95MafCOhzsr_nzbovVGSPUzA-T1LZ8X0IEvTPW_2lylFGV73R67s6UbQS4gvt8hvk9rOgFh0LP6CPrmOS_SVXum1yxPEtXkItw7QNvf-WNKPR5fYfPOr-YUetoJaUXAuKzifCxXcXsHygFF8-YoIzZrgZV20rsr-dAVqU/s16000/transit-board-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXKWDQ-VKQxf9FWYkX4lsVYUk9DTzGmlCebQrMLRqnmyGVfHSOvjBVtRytzhiUlE60iSh_H732qGe083gklMA2Z0vD_kHndTlAdyTcBbb00RLDaU_xE15cd513r7zQx10vJfZvHZ8A7FUslC5YJIccbA77vwfLWHDLxFL0RAEfvh7XdiFdFrZHYTY/s1631/dark-transit-redesign.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1210" data-original-width="1631" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXKWDQ-VKQxf9FWYkX4lsVYUk9DTzGmlCebQrMLRqnmyGVfHSOvjBVtRytzhiUlE60iSh_H732qGe083gklMA2Z0vD_kHndTlAdyTcBbb00RLDaU_xE15cd513r7zQx10vJfZvHZ8A7FUslC5YJIccbA77vwfLWHDLxFL0RAEfvh7XdiFdFrZHYTY/s16000/dark-transit-redesign.png"/></a></div><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTY64dn-VILz2Z6F-eyJRjQoC2ix-IkQ3KM6nu65gLIldfWfwOHj4gotc1r5edsHjsyc15LGVigRxVixpHcMuY8_SaI31ffRJExLTACUq-t87B4wj6DxaBwdh3i57njI-cdH7tfLrztI3hGmqNVjDztRd_ddSyfO8XxtwMKeO6lTSLB4sb5O8CmnZN/s408/dark-transit-board.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTY64dn-VILz2Z6F-eyJRjQoC2ix-IkQ3KM6nu65gLIldfWfwOHj4gotc1r5edsHjsyc15LGVigRxVixpHcMuY8_SaI31ffRJExLTACUq-t87B4wj6DxaBwdh3i57njI-cdH7tfLrztI3hGmqNVjDztRd_ddSyfO8XxtwMKeO6lTSLB4sb5O8CmnZN/s16000/dark-transit-board.png"/></a></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"> </h2><h2 style="text-align: center;">Transitous Move to MOTIS 2</h2><p style="text-align: left;">On the subject of transit, Transitous has now migrated to the new MOTIS 2 API.
