@Android_808: Strange, works fine for me. Maybe one of the theme files got corrupted when you copied it to the device, or permissions were somehow messed up.

@ddiscodave: Select marble-maps alone first and update that, then it should work. That error is resolved after upgrading to the latest packages.

If the package manager still refuses to update, you can also open a terminal and do a
Code:
root
apt-get install marble libmarble marble-plugins marble-data marble-maps

When there is thousands of little files, map tiles, it will for sure slow things down to access them from FAT32-system rather than from sqlite-engine from database-files.
modRana's author has documented (updated) the sqlite-database for map tiles in the previous mentioned URI.

zimon: We'll consider it.

stickymick: You can download maps for Mars for Marble right here:

http://edu.kde.org/marble/maps.php

There are even maps for Venus and the Moon :-) Using the Desktop KDE version you can download new maps via KNS ("File->Get New Maps"). If you run Marble trunk you can even help us beta testing the new Map Creation wizard which is currently in the works, see:

http://userbase.kde.org/Marble/WizardMap

For some early piece of documentation of an early revision of the feature. :-)

With these settings I would expect Marble to start with an English UI, however i get the German translation. I have Marble installed from extras-devel.
EDIT: Scratch that, seems to be a bug in Qt: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-1313
That'll be fixed in the next version (working around the issue in Marble, Qt still has that bug). Thanks for the detailed report

Marble 1.0.0 has been released together with KDE 4.6 earlier today. The N900 packages are in extras-testing for some days now. If you have some time to test them, please vote for them so that we can get them into extras. Thanks

Packages to test:
Changes since 1.0 RC2:
  • Usability improvements in the Tracking dialog.
  • Updated translations. Marble comes in 44 languages. The Tracking Dialog is not translated, please don't report bugs against that.
  • Ensure that altitude information is stored in saved GPS tracks. Remove current location placemark.
  • Work around Qt Bug 1313: When using different language and regional settings, the language settings must define the GUI language, not the regional settings.
  • Fix a crash in globe projection at high zoom levels (street level).
  • Enable caching for the routing info box. Increases the overall render speed by about 50%.

Great software, many thanks for a N900 version
Had some testing and it seems to work OK, if only...
So I tried to download OSM map tiles for a region about 300x400 km. Set the tile level range 0 - 10 and it worked OK. Then I set the tile level range 10-11. The estimation was 2816 tiles and 36 MB. Started the download and put phone on the table. After about 5 minutes I wanted to check the progress, but the phone was totally unresposive - the screen stayed black and no buttons had any effect on it However, the phone was not completely dead, as when I tried to call it I heard calling tones. But of course no signes at the phone about incoming call. So I had to pull out the battery...
Any ideas?

So I started poking around after trying marble for N900 and found that there may be some future modular integration with OVI maps. According to:
http://techbase.kde.org/OviSprintDiscussionNotes
http://dot.kde.org/2010/11/10/kdes-m...ributor-sprint

and the video at
http://blip.tv/file/4354030

this is already possible. I can't begin to imagine what this means for Meego and the N900s future. In any case thanks for the great work, thus far.
