gnome-maps links into the evolution address book - you can enter Contact Names into the Search field in GNOME Maps; for this it needs the integration with evolution-data-server. The dependency though is not in gnome-maps itself, but is abstracted over folks. But the current design of gnome-maps's does not allow to split out such consumer into optional packages, as it is all linked into a monolithic gnome-maps library. Cheers, Dominique
