Nice that we now have timetable data for Chinese railways in Transitous (and thus in Maps and other apps using it). #transitous #ChinaRailway #gnomemaps #mapstodon #PublicTransit

A quick trial of using the MOTIS geocoding endpoint (via Transitous) in Maps. Still lacking the mapping from place types to appropriate icon for general places (mapping from the icon name provided by MOTIS to a “major” OSM key/value). But for public transit […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]
