Not sure if Marble is still maintainded... I haven't used it for couple years since our cars have now built in navigation.
Marble is maintained for desktop, but the person who stood up too take over as maemo maintiner for ver 1.5.5-1 hasn't been heard from for a while; I've tried raising him on the marble thread and by PM, but no response. Looking at his profile, he's not been on tmo since April. It's a shame, because upstream marble has apparently included the Cyclestreets.net routing I asked for, which would be incredibly handy to get onto my handlebars.

Alas, I lack the skill to take over the package and the time to learn how, not to mention the equipment on which to recompile and package the software for Fremantle. If anyone could take it up...
