 <h4>GPS Tracking</h4>
-<h4>Routing</h4>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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 <a \
href="http://userbase.kde.org/Special:MyLanguage/Marble/Tracking">KDE Userbase</a>. \

+<h4>Worldwide and Offline Routing</h4>
+
+<p>
+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: <i>Yours</i> provides
+worldwide online routing while <i>Gosmore</i>, <i>Monav</i> and <i>Routino</i> 
+are offline routing backends. The different backends can be configured in 
+routing profiles. Four profiles are setup as default: <i>Car (fastest)</i>, 
+<i>Car (shortest)</i>, <i>Bicycle</i> and <i>Pedestrian</i>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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
+<a href="http://userbase.kde.org/Special:MyLanguage/Marble/Maemo/OfflineRouting">
+KDE Userbase</a>.

+
+<p>
+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.

+<h4>Osmarender Map Theme</h4>
+
+<p>
+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).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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.
