Description

Hello,

The whole Citymapper app works pretty well. The only issue is when viewing the map. Some elements are obviously glitching, but most importantly, some elements are missing. Here, for example, is a map to view near bike stations, with the Google Play Services, the number of bikes is shown, where with microG, it isn't.

With Google Play Services :

With MicroG :

EDIT: In this case, it seems like Citymapper shows the numbers of bikes.... Sometimes (most of the time not).

Example of other minor glitches on the map :

With MicroG :

Nexus 6P with Lineage 15.1-20180827-microG-angler

MicroG version 0.2.5.12879

Thanks
