Marble is a free open source geographical map program developed by KDE and the open source community for use on personal computers running a Qt 4 compatible operating system. Marble is intended to be very flexible; in addition to its intended cross platform deployment, the core components can easily be integrated into other programs. It is planned to be able to run without hardware acceleration, however it can be extended to use OpenGL. The developers intended for the application start fairly quickly, and ship with a minimal but useful offline dataset (5-10MB). Recently, contributors have added support for online mapping sources sources such as OpenStreetMap. This feature integrates well with Marble's ability to interpret kml files, the format popularized by Google Earth /Google Maps.
