Marble is a powerful virtual globe and world map.

It is part of the KDE Education Project.



For a short introduction into Marble you might want to have a look at the slides of our presentation about Marble at Akademy / GCDS 2009.

There's also a YouTube-video of the first 10 minutes available. The full video can be downloaded here.


Features

  • You can pan and zoom around and you can look up places and roads
