Description reportthebug 2023-08-08 21:36:34 UTC
I would like to propose the implementation of an interactive map showing the connections found by KDE Itinerary. This map could be similar to the one found in Öffi, which visualises the connections and even allows users to select their preferred destination.

The addition of an interactive map could bring several benefits to KDE Itinerary users:

1. Visualise connections: An interactive map would allow users to visually understand the route and connections, making it easier to identify potential problems or alternative options, especially on a laptop, as the Deutsche Bahn, for example, has dropped its map view feature.
2. Destination selection: Users could select their destination directly on the map, providing a more intuitive way to select their desired location.
3. Improved user experience: Integrating a map into KDE Itinerary would make the application more user-friendly, especially for those unfamiliar with the public transport system in a particular area.
4. Users could better plan transfer locations.


To implement this feature, I suggest considering the following:

- Integration with OpenStreetMap.
- Displaying the route and connections with clear markers and labels.
- Allow users to interact with the map, such as zooming, panning and selecting destinations directly on the map.
- The ability to toggle between the map view and the current list view of connections, allowing users to choose the view that best suits their needs.

Thank you for taking this into consideration.
