Hi Theodor!

Nice to hear from you and that you want to contribute to Maps!

There are many things you can do to contribute! And the first step I
would recommend is to follow the
GNOME Newcomers guide, you can find it here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers

After you have followed that guide and managed to build Maps through
the jhbuild enviroment you can go to Maps page:
There you can find resources and list of easy starter task for
contributing to Maps: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Maps

Maybe an interesting one would be:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745242

Regards
Jonas
