I installed gnome maps (apt install gnome-maps) on Xubuntu 16.04. It is a great tool and running fine.
The only problem is that I do not understand how to use the search function. When I enter a place in the search bar, I get a suggestion list with the correct city and country etc, but whatever I select or type nothing happens.



I would expect when I enter Paris,France and select it from the offered List, to tool centers Paris and put a cursor on it. I can not figure out how to do that. What am I missing?

          Try the flatpak version of gnome-maps: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Maps



          It has worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04 x64: favorites are back and search function works as expected.



          1. Install Flatpak



          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install flatpak


          2. Install the Software Flatpak plugin



          sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak 


          3. Add the Flathub repository



          sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo


          4. Restart (if necessary)



          5. Install Gnome-Maps via Gnome-Software or via the command line



          sudo flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Maps


          6. Run the app



          flatpak run org.gnome.Maps
