      One of the many open source applications that are bundled with the Gnome desktop suite is Gnome Maps.

        Looks like this doesn't work on Linux Mint. Sad face (since there are no emojis, which gets another sad face.)

          @StrongBad Is it not in the repositories yet?

          Edit: Answered my own question while doing updates. Does this not install it properly?

          apt-get install gnome-maps

            It has a -6 rating and the forum only talks about how it doesn't work. I tried installing and it wanted to completely uninstall the Cinnamon desktop!

            Trying it again...

              Trying it a second time, it installs. However, it does not run. It does nothing, which is what all of the reviews ahve said.

                Wow, that is just bad.

                  @travisdh1 I agree, not very impressed that Mint included this but did not test it or respond to people with issues. Better to not have it in there.

                    Do you have the Cinnamon or Mate Desktop? It would make sense that you couldn't run a Gnome application without running in a Gnome environment. Although I could be mistaken.

                      Just because you run a different GUI doesn't mean you can't run apps meant for a different one. KDE and GNOME apps normally run just fine in the other type of desktop assuming all dependencies are met.

                        Cinnamon is Gnome 3, though.

                          I wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

                            Only need libraries for that, in theory.

                              Hrm, just gets worse and worse.

                                Yeah, I'd expect @StrongBad to have good luck here. I see the same thing, doesn't run.
