I like OpenStreetMaps as it very nice alternative to maps.google and is supported on many platforms.



However I would like to save favourites and the button in top right corner is grayed out.



EDIT: What's here after right clicking on the map returns Nothing found here!



enter image description here



According to this tutorial it should work. Do you have any idea where's the problem?



The version of GNOME Maps I am using is 3.26.1.

  • The star button in top right is for (already) starred locations. Start starring some places, that button will be activated.

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
