What do people think about adding mapcode support alongside plus codes, OSM support and Google map links? Mapcodes seem to tick the right boxes (open source, various libraries available including through PyPI).
I'm noticing how W3W is acquiring mindshare in spite of the drawbacks, and I think it is good to show support for open standards.

Got it and found the screen in pure maps. On it.
Regarding transport icons from unicode, this is what i selected and converted to svg.

I wonder whether transport icons should be
* black-and-white
* profile of the transport mode
The rest of the icons in map selector are in color, but somehow I thought that black-and-white icons for car, bike, walking, and public transport would suite better at such relatively small scale.
I also find it a bit easier to distinguish car via profile, same for train. Profile also reduces "evil" factor.
These are my 2c, I'll better leave it to the ones with the better artistic vision than mine.

Plus is supported on OsmAnd. But IMHO it would be nice to have as more "standards" supported as possible.

If I have time later this year I might have a go myself - it would be good to look at python again.

Porting the testing utility so that the tests run might be the biggest part of the job.

The style is kind of different to what is there but simple enough to still fit the grey on map icons.
will look further but i think it is okayish already.
