Hi Adrien,

I am not in charge of Marble, but thank you for your feedback! After a bit
of talking with Dennis on IRC, you may have more luck if you send your
feedback to the marble mailing list [1], too.

I am using marble for while now, and I like it a lot, so first thank you very much \
!<br> <br>
I would like to use marble to plan canoë trips, on french rivers, but currently it is \
not very convenient. To my point of view marble could be improved on those points \
:<br> <br>
– a satellite view like google maps, bing or geoportail. I is much better than maps \
to have an idea of the environnment : trees, curves of the river, dams, fields to \
carry the canoë, etc. I know these maps are not free, but they brings a lot of \
information which lacks in openstreetmap for instance.<br>

– a way to defined the « route », along the river. For now I add mesure points. The \
idea is to defined the start, the end of the trip, and marble automatically draws the \
route (and indicate the distance), as it does for roads.<br>

– a way to add comments : « Attention, dams ! », « stop for lunch », « special \
bird&#39;s nests », « portage of the canoë », « old castle », etc.<br> – a way to \
share the trip. I would like to be able to easily share the map with others. Some \
have marble, other don&#39;t. For instance, it could be cool to have a button « send \
by email » (or IM) to export/import the map, route and comments using marble, or \
maybe a webservice like openstreetmap.<br>

<br>
With these features, marble will be very very good for my usage. I don&#39;t know if \
it&#39;s easy to implement, but I am sure those features could also benefit to people \
who don&#39;t do canoë :-)<br> <br>
Again, thank you for marble, it is already a good tool !<br>
