-    <p>The mouse and touchpad interface has been overhauled to make a cleaner,
-    more stylish look. You can quickly locate the settings that are relevant to
-    you: for instance, the touchpad settings will only be displayed if you have
-    a touchpad.</p>
-    <p>More explanation for settings are also provided like natural scrolling
-    and primary button. Notably, the double-click delay setting can now be
-    found under the universal access menu instead of the mouse and touchpad
-    panel.</p>

-    <p>The new version of Maps includes a collection of new features, as well
-    as smaller refinements.</p>
-    <list>
-      <item><p>Maps makes use of data provided by OpenStreetMap, which anyone
-      can contribute to. And with 3.20, it is now possible to add and edit
-      place information from Maps itself. Place popovers now include more
-      information, such as website addresses, phone numbers and whether
-      internet access is available. To show this information, they are now
-      expandable.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Custom layers can now be added using several file formats. This
-      can be used to add maps information from many sources, such as government
-      websites. You can also use it to display your own route data from mobile
-      devices or Google.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Directions were added to Maps for last release, version 3.18.
-      This has been expanded for 3.20, with the addition of printing for
-      directions can be printed. Print outs show map images along with
-      directions, for a clear set of route instructions.</p></item>
-      <item><p>With 3.20, it is now also possible to use Maps to generate map
-      images in PNG format. This can be useful for all kinds of application:
-      EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE.</p></item>

+    <p>The new version of Maps includes a number of significant new features.
+    With 3.20, it is now possible to add and edit place information (provided
+    by <link href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/";>OpenStreetMap</link>). In
+    addition, place popovers now include more information, such as website
+    addresses and phone numbers; this can be viewed by expanding each place
+    popover.</p>
+    <p>Custom layers is another new feature for 3.20. This allows additional
+    map layers to be added, using common mapping file formats like GeoJSON, KML
+    and GPX. These can be found online for things like local political borders,
+    points of interest for events, or environmental data. It is also possible
+    to use this feature to display your own route data from mobile devices or
+    Google.</p>
+    <p>3.20 also introduces printing for route directions. These directions
+    show map images along with directions, for a clear set of route
+    instructions. It is also possible to use Maps to generate map images in
+    PNG format. This can be useful for including in documents and websites, or
+    even for sharing location information with others.</p>
     <p>Other smaller improvements in this release include:</p>

-      <item><p>The addition of a scale ruler to the map.</p></item>
+      <item><p>The new scale ruler that is shown on the map.</p></item>
       <item><p>Maps now shows the last viewed location when started, so you
       don't have to keep navigating back to the same place.</p></item>
       <item><p>Maps is now able to open location links that use the 'geo:'
       prefix.</p></item>
