Add ability to create maps

[marcoambrosini]

It would be nice to be able to create different maps with different favorites / want to go places / tracks in it. In the navigation we could then have all the maps like:

• Main;
• 2020 Christmas vacation (Shared with Alice, Bob and other 2);
• Places to rent (Shared with Jane);
• Hikes that I enjoyed;

...and so forth

The good thing about this is that it would allow granular sharing of different favorites/tracks and would also de-clutter the main map from things that one might not need there all the time.

We could also have a navigation entry that merges all maps into one, much like the "All inboxes" in mail.

Can you checkout the my maps Branch if it goes in the direction your thinking oft?

[lizeidsness]

I like this idea - is it something getting brought into the main app?

[tacruc]

That The idea, but don't ask for any schedule. There is a new branch something like enh-vue-rewrite-my-maps. Feel free to test it, but it is work in progress.

Happy to look into this, but I am new to dev side of things with nextcloud - might take me a bit to get oriented...

[marcoambrosini]

@lizeidsness thanks for that! You can ask for help in our maps public channel or in our community chat. If you quickly want to spin up a dev environment I suggest you use this: https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-docker-dev!

[lizeidsness]

Oh that's helpful thanks! I spent a night looking into it and couldn't get it working. I used the main docker not dev and had to add stuff to it. I've got errors still. I'll try new docker and try again.

I'm looking forward to this. It will be very helpful for touristic activitiy for instance.

It looks like the screenshot in the readme implies some support for tihs is already available - there are three categories on the left under favourites. Is that filtering on location, or via import? Or is it in the master branch and awaiting the next release at all?

[tacruc]

Since some time there are nightly builds. They can be installed via occ update maps --allow-unstable

Testing and feedback is appreciated
