Bug Description

The GNOME Maps app is the most prominent app in Ubuntu's Software app. It's the only app with a large wide-screen banner on the home page of the Software app.

The Maps app currently doesn't work because the server it was using stopped providing free map tiles. See bug 1602035 for more info.

This is actually a bug in the upstream part of GNOME Software and not because of Ubuntu-specific customizations. So I attached the upstream bug report.

There is now an upstream fix for this that is being SRU'd so we don't need to change the featured list.
