Marble - Virtual Globe v1.5.5-1

Great application but not so great optimization for mobile-networks. I've yet to get good/proper signal-lock with this. Hopefully this will be improved in the future versions.

Great application. Giving 5 stars though there is room for improvement with offline routing & address search to match the functionality of online address search.

Highly recomended

@john: You can use the "Download Region" feature for that. It works on rectangular regions (the map region visible in the screen). To download offline routing maps, use the routing dialog. There's a detailed tutorial that covers both at http://userbase.kde.org/Marble/Maemo/OfflineRouting

Not sure if you have answered this already. But is they a way to download all of the uk maps and zoom levels etc just like a Tom Tom ?

So no internet connection is needed at all. handy when in another country with expensive data cost.

@Jakub: I plan to work on an offline address search for Marble 1.1 (~ April 2011) or 1.2 (August 2011). It will include city and street data for the country maps.

Great job! Just few questions/wishes: Is there any way to download cities'/streets'/etc. name index (with coordinates) from OSM so it wouldn't need an internet connection? I've managed to download some map tiles (very big, though) and a Navit map, but it still needs an internet connection for searching in the map.

Really like this, as I get to know it better it is slowly replacing ovi-maps
