Fun with free maps on the free desktop

Marble recently got support for routing. Dennis Nienhüser has written a
nice blog about Marble's new routing feature:

The feature is still in development and we'll try to simplify the UI a bit
more and extend on functionality.

If you are a student and want to participate in Google Summer of Code 2010
then you might want to apply for a Marble project. See Dennis' blog above
for details.

There are a lot of opportunities to help us to improve Marble with any
skill level: And we'd love to improve Marble so that it covers more use
cases and more ideas. All provided that it stays easy to use and looks
good :-)

Marble has got a pretty sound code base with a sophisticated graphics
pipeline that makes it e.g. possible to deal with several projections.
Also Marble's functionality is plugin based. Together with the
availability of KML-inspired tool classes it's possible to easily enhance
functionality.
