@nekohayo lmaooo yeah the airport is way the heck outta town but there's a nice commuter train straight from there to Union Station in the middle of downtown—and then just one or two stops to the venue itself from there. I’m going to update the GUADEC site with specific line and transfer information, but maybe I should learn how to contribute to OSM…

@cassidy
OpenStreetMap is already able to route between the airport and the venue by car/bicycle/walking via GraphHopper, but GNOME Maps itself:

• Doesn't integrate Denver's data to offer public transit routing
• Doesn't understand that the airport is adjacent to its service road, and thus refuses any non-public-transit routing unless you route from a point on the adjacent road (rather than the airport building itself)

Si quelqu'un près de #Montréal voudrait implémenter les directions pour le transport en commun de la #STM, #ARTM / Exo, etc., dans #GNOMEMaps pour avoir un logiciel de routage natif à #GNOME / #Linux avec #OpenStreetMap et #GraphHopper, voyez ce billet et ceux reliés pour la documentation de données ouvertes #opendata : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/issues/609

@nekohayo only if I can write it in a proper language. Might be a blocker.

@hub @nekohayo Despicable Me meme:

1. Rewrite GNOME Maps from JS to Rust or whatever you fancy
2. Implement this plugin
3. Maintain GNOME Maps in perpetuity
