On July 30, 2016, the GNOME Maps 3.20.2 stable release have been made available for download, and it promises functional maps again, thanks to the implementation of a community API (Application Programming Interface) key from Mapbox. Since the GNOME Maps 3.20.1 update, the GNOME Maps 3.20.2 release also fixes escaping of “tel:” URIs, adapt the colors of instruction during printing of routes, and updates various language translations, such as for Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, Portuguese, and Norwegian Bokm??l languages.
