GPS Tracking

-

Routing

+ +

+The existing GPS tracking support has been extended. Besides showing your current +location on the map, Marble can now automatically follow you as you move. +Furthermore it's possible to have the zoom value adjusted automatically according +to your speed. +

+ +

+The mobile version on the Nokia N900 let's you open and save track logs in .kml +format. This feature is not yet available on the Desktop, but will follow shortly +in Marble 1.1. More details on GPS tracking are described in KDE Userbase. +

Worldwide and Offline Routing

+ +

+Support for routing was introduced in Marble 0.10 using OnlineRouteService as +the backend. Since the requirement of an Internet connection and the limitation +to routing in Europe does not cover all use cases we want to support, we +extended Marble's routing feature to support several different backends. Four +new backends join the existing OpenRouteService one: Yours provides +worldwide online routing while Gosmore, Monav and Routino +are offline routing backends. The different backends can be configured in +routing profiles. Four profiles are setup as default: Car (fastest), +Car (shortest), Bicycle and Pedestrian. +

+ +

+Offline routers require additional maps to be installed locally. For your +convenience we host maps for all worldwide countries for the Monav backend. They +can be downloaded directly from within Marble. Further details can be found in + +KDE Userbase. +

+Sometimes there are several possible ways to reach a destination. They take a +similar amount of time but use quite different roads. In such a case Marble +chooses the best route (shown in blue in the map), but also presents the +alternative ones to you (shown in gray). If you prefer one of the alternative +routes, just click on it in the map to switch to it. +

Osmarender Map Theme

+ +

+Osmarender is a popular OpenStreetMap base layer rendered by the tiles@home +project. It can now also be used in Marble as an alternative to the +classical OpenStreetMap Marble map (Mapnik layer). You can install it via +Marble's 'Get New Stuff' feature (File => Download Maps). +

+ +

+The Osmarender map theme does also include an optional hillshading layer created +by Colin Marquardt. You can enable it in Marble's Legend tab on the left side of +the screen. +
