There is a gitorious project called marble-restricted-maps or something. Downloaded archive from there, copied files into a local settings folder (can't find in latest version) and it appeared in map options but didn't work. Put it in /opt/marble/share/marble/data/maps/earth/. You need to make sure folder name matches theme name.
It also works in the home folder. You need to put it in /home/user/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/googlesat (or googlemaps or whatever other map theme you like).

1. Guideance to say turn left or right. Need to check but at the moment I've only had "drive right on xxx"
Yes, voice output is on the TODO list with rather high priority ;-)

That's available at http://marble.garage.maemo.org/testing/ at the end of the site.
