Description

Marble is a KDE application showing the earth with countries and many towns. Users can easily zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, in a Google-map/earth manner. It is not sure whether it can replace Kgeography or not. However it is at least a complement since it shows the whole earth instead of a politic map of parts of the world. The Lenny version weights 21 MB of Debian packages (marble + marble-data). The Squeeze version seems to be lighter: 12 MB for marble + marble-data + marble-plugins.

Marble is indeed very interesting. Not only it shows the whole earth in a very interactive way, but it can also switch its map to the OpenStreetMap (online), the map of temperatures or precipitations. It can also add links to Wikipedia pages of towns and insert photos of places, still from the Internet. It is also less scolar than KGeography wich tends to make it a good replacement.
