Bug#830842: State of Maps in Stable

[James Rowan Lloyd]

Hi,

I understand that this bug has been fixed upstream in the latest version 
that is set to hit unstable. However, given that this bug affects all 
versions, including stable, I'm wondering if there is any plan to patch 
it and fix it in jessie. It's a pretty horrendous bug for an application 
that is part of a default gnome-desktop task on a fresh installation of 
debian stable to be basically completely unusable. Obviously I'm 
contacting you because I like gnome-maps I would like it working on my 
system sooner than whenever stretch is released, but it's still bad from 
a objective perspective for this bug not to be fixed in stable. Please 
consider and let me know.


Thanks, James
