[Released] Marble Portable 0.10.1 Development Test 3

Application: Marble
Category: Education
Description:

Marble is a Virtual Globe and World Atlas that you can use to learn more about Earth: You can pan and zoom around and you can look up places and roads. A mouse click on a place label will provide the respective Wikipedia article.

Of course it's also possible to measure distances between locations or watch the current cloud cover. Marble offers different thematic maps: A classroom-style topographic map, a satellite view, street map, earth at night and temperature and precipitation maps. All maps include a custom map key, so it can also be used as an educational tool for use in class-rooms. For educational purposes you can also change date and time and watch how the starry sky and the twilight zone on the map change.

In opposite to other virtual globes Marble also features multiple projections: Choose between a Flat Map ("Plate carré"), Mercator or the Globe.

Thanks for packaging this up.

Thanks for packaging this up. I looked into it myself, but decided against it. I'll give it a try later on today.

Works for me.

Working on XP SP3 with admin rights.

I prefer Google Earth but as this develops would be good to see an open source alternative.

This gave me a thought.

Should I leave this as is, or rename is Marble QT? Opinions, anyone?

Marble

They call them "Marble KDE" and "Marble Qt" for differentiation, but the whole product is "Marble". Keep it simple, I reckon.
