Description

This is part of the ongoing discussion to revive the work in nextcloud maps. I will be proposing a project to sync gnome-maps with nextcloud. Current requirements from the gnome-maps side are
1)Favorites:
This is the most important feature which is required. Having access to your favorite places
where ever you go, is very useful.
Favorites are just one of many possible categories we can have, so API should allow for passing of places in any category. This is very simple to do since we can just have an attribute which stores type of place.
I am still shaping and understanding the proposal so I'll appreciate any ideas and suggestions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ongoing Nextcloud Maps discussion and the GNOME Maps synchronization requirements in this issue. Clarify the API design before implementation, including support for favorites and a general place category attribute. Done means the agreed API can exchange favorite places and other categories between the two projects.
