Uma das características principais do '"Marble"' é o suporte a diferentes mapas(Chamados de temas de mapa na linguagem '"Marble"') e diferentes planetas. Cada um deles pode ser visto em diferentes projeções: Faça o planeta parecer um globo usando a projeção "Esférica" ou veja-o como um mapa impresso na projeção "Mercator".

Temas de mapa são configurados na caixa de diálogo chamada Visão de Mapa no Marble. Você a encontra na barra de abas a direita na versão Desktop.

A versão mobile do Marble no Nokia N900 lhe oferece a opção de abrir a caixa de diálogo Visão de Mapa via o menu da aplicação principal.

A caixa de diálogo Visão de Mapa permite que você escolha uma projeção, o planeta (corpo celeste) e um tema de mapa. O resto deste tutorial explica essas escolhas em detalhes.

Escolhas de Planeta

Marble oferece suporte a em torno de uma dúzia de planetas diferentes. Na caixa de diálogo Visão de Mapa, você pode escolher esses planetas para os quais, ao menos, um tema de mapa está instalado.


Terra. Vários temas de mapa diferentes estão disponíveis.

Lua. Nós sabemos que isso não é um planeta.

Marte

Vênus

Escolhas de Projeção

A projeção define como a superfície de um planeta é apresentada na tela. Isso pode ser um globo de algum tipo ou um mapa plano.

Spherical Projection Flat Map Projection Mercator Projection
Example
Common Usage Distant view, measuring large distances Distant view Close view, navigation
Tip
Está em dúvida sobre qual projeção escolher? Uma regra de ouro é usar a projeção Esférica para distâncias muito longas e a projeção Mercator para outros casos.

Mapas de Visão Geral

Map Theme Preview Description

Earth at Night Earth as seen from space without sun illumination.

Street Maps

These maps are optimized for high zoom levels, showing many details on the street and city level. Some of them provide good country and even continent or space views, but that's not their primary area of use. Need to find a route? Do you like hiking or biking? Want to explore the neighborhood? Pick one of these maps.

Map Theme Preview Description

OpenStreetMap

General purpose

The famous OpenStreetMap Mapnik layer. A general purpose map with useful information for the most common use cases. The map is identical to that shown on openstreetmap.org.

Combine this map theme with the Mercator projection for optimal speed and a sharp map view.

Osmarender

General purpose

The OpenStreetMap Osmarender layer. A general purpose map with useful information for the most common use cases. The map is identical to that selectable in the top-right toolbox on openstreetmap.org.

Compared to the Mapnik layer (OpenStreetMap theme), this theme has more lively colors and presents some different data. The view from space looks better than that of Mapnik. On the other hand, Mapnik handles conflicting elements at the street level better. In Osmarender, icon sizes are less balanced and the z-order (stacking) is wrong for some elements. Labels overlap in densely packed areas.

Combine this map theme with the Mercator projection for optimal speed and a sharp map view.

OpenCycleMap

For bikers

OpenStreetMap data presented for bikers. The map is identical to that selectable in the top-right toolbox on openstreetmap.org.

Combine this map theme with the Mercator projection for optimal speed and a sharp map view.

OSM Hike & Bike Map

For hikers and bikers

A map theme optimized for hiking and biking, based on OpenStreetMap data. Includes a very nice hillshading layer that shows the terrain (activate it in the Legend tab).

Combine this map theme with the Mercator projection for optimal speed and a sharp map view.

Restricted Maps

These map themes work fine in Marble from a technical point of view. The terms of service of the companies offering these maps, however, may prevent you from using it. If you want to use these map themes, you must install them manually. Make sure their terms of service allow you to use them within Marble.

Warning
To the best of our knowledge the usage of these restricted maps is forbidden in an application like Marble. We only want to demonstrate the technical feasibility here. Please don't add details on their installation in Marble to this Wiki. We don't want to promote the usage of maps which we think are not free.

Read more about the restrictions on using Google Maps in Dennis Nienhüser's blog.
