-I have been playing with Marble for a little while an have discovered a few things:

1. If you installed the version in the stable repository (http://marble.garage.maemo.org/) before upgrading to the version in extras-testing, Marble may continue to crash whenever it is launched.
To fix this problem, you may need to delete the Marble configuration file in /home/user/.config/kde.org/ (at least I think that is is the directory that it was in )

2. For nicer OpenStreet Maps rendering (Osmarender tiles) as described in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/KDE_Marble, do the following:

-Become root (you need rootsh installed)
Code:
sudo gainroot
-edit the /home/opt/marble/share/marble/data/maps/earth/openstreetmap/openstreetmap.dgml (vi, nano, or any other text editor should be fine)
Code:
vi /home/opt/marble/share/marble/data/maps/earth/openstreetmap/openstreetmap.dgml
- in the downloadUrl tag section add <downloadUrl protocol="http" host="a.tah.openstreetmap.org" path="/Tiles/tile/" />

- enclose the other three downloadUrl lines in <!-- -->

The final result should look something like this
Code:
      <downloadUrl protocol="http" host="a.tah.openstreetmap.org" path="/Tiles/tile/" />
<!--  <downloadUrl protocol="http" host="a.tile.openstreetmap.org" path="/" /> -->
<!--  <downloadUrl protocol="http" host="b.tile.openstreetmap.org" path="/" /> -->
<!--  <downloadUrl protocol="http" host="c.tile.openstreetmap.org" path="/" /> -->

Just installed the monad routing daemon and will be trying out offline routing with downloaded maps. I'll post again if i find anything interesting.
