Just for the record: Marble currently does
not make use of any 3D capabilities. We
render all stuff using QPainter (so it's 2D
basically). We have "real" 3D as an option
on our roadmap though.

If you refer to 2D as in QScrollarea-like:
That's just about 2 weeks of development. So I
wouldn't call it "lots" :-)

There is IMTK [1]

It's not a map widget, but it contains a mapwidget (qgv), cache system (provided by an implementation of network cache) and layers (as a pin layers).

It supports zooming and panning, but it doesn't support routes yet, however a route layer can be easily implemented.

It contains a lot of other stuffs (qgv widgets, notifications, etc) that could be dropped (forked =/)
