I'm slowly discovering all the nice stuff in #GNOME46 that other #gnome devs have been working on.
My personal favorite so far are the generic Cal/Card/WebDav accounts, for several reasons.
First of all, I use CalDav and CardDav extensively, both personally and at work. Especially my contacts are something that I on one side want to be available on all my devices - and on the other side really want to have control over. I.e. I only want that data on providers I trust.
Another native app I find myself using more and more is #gnomemaps
Just because it started to be the most efficient way for me to look things - usually a bicycle route. I.e. its increasingly convincing me by utility, not by the additional reason of better privacy etc.
I should probably add that it actually is a clear goal of mine to use native apps more and more (again) for various reasons - one big one being that it's important for #LinuxMobile - and, well, I'd say its going great :)
The video begins with a window of links over top of #Fractal. A link is clicked changing the channel to one with more links and one is clicked opening #GNOMEMaps zooming in on the #GNOMEFoundation's address. Another in the window opens the #GNOME46 release video in #FreeTube, and final one opens a #Jitsi meeting in the desktop application.
Ahem, #GNOMEMaps Nightly (with its dark vector maps!) says that walking from the airport's nearest lane to the #GUADEC 2024 venue is a terrible idea 🤔️
The @flyingpimonster is perhaps one of the greatest nerd-snipers of all time, because he somehow successfully baited me into spending 3 hours testing & fixing zoom scrolling in #libshumate for all of you #GNOMEMaps users using smooth-scrolling mice in #GNOME.
Whether you're planning a road trip or just want to explore new places, GNOME Maps can help you navigate with ease. With its user-friendly interface and @openstreetmap powerhouse features, you'll be able to find your way around no matter where you go. So why not give it a try on your next vacation?
If I want to make a nice map overlay (say, like you’d see when attending an event in an unfamiliar city…), are there good open editors that can like, plug into OpenStreetMap somehow? Ideally something you could load into GNOME Maps, but I’d be fine with a web embed or even just exporting as an image.
My current idea is to screenshot the area on a map and overlay in Inkscape, but there’s gotta be something better?
