 <h4>Routing Extensions</h4>
 
 <p>
-MapQuest and OSRM backends, improved instructions.
+A number of gradual improvements in the routing area lead to an overall enhanced \
user experience. Just like it was possible in the mobile versions before, Marble's \
desktop version now let's you open and save routes as KML files. New turn instruction \
types and voice commands are supported and tasks like reversing or clearing the route \
got their own buttons to reduce the number of clicks needed to accomplish common \
tasks. Support for MapQuest and the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) has been \
added. Just like the existing five routing backends they are queried (if enabled) in \
the background to deliver alternative routes you can choose from. Both OSRM and \
MapQuest support worldwide routing; OSRM is known for speedy results thanks to its \
underlying fast routing algorithm (contraction hierarchies), while MapQuest carefully \
analyzes your route to generate versatile turn directions.  </p>

 <h4>Postal Codes Online Service</h4>
 
+<p>
+With the paperless office still to arrive snail mail plays an ever important role in \
daily life. Part of the addressing scheme in nearly all countries worldwide are \
postal codes (also known as post codes, ZIP codes or PIN codes). Each postal code \
usually covers a certain geographical area. Marble can now help you visualizing these \
areas and identifying their spatial relationship once you activate the postal code \
plugin. It was developed by Valery Kharitonov during Google Code-In 2011 to join \
Marble's list of online services. +</p>
