<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">The Marble library comes with a set of different free map themes. This includes a satellite map theme which only has a resolution of 500m / pixel.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">Additionally you can download the MapQuest Open Aerial which features a much higher resolution (which is best in the US).</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">In addition to that you can also add your own map data to Marble. See e.g. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">Technically it should be possible to integrate any tiled map data into Marble by following the approach in the tutorial above.</span></p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all Marble Devs, <br /><br />I am new to Marble and using it in Qt. I have been doing some research into different GIS interface APIs. A client would then like an abstract API layer with which to interface with the selected GIS interface API and display it in a "proof-of-concept" GUI. I hope that I am allowed to post this kind of question here, and I hope someone will be able to assist. Otherwise, I will try to do some research on the website, but I am not sure if I will find everything I need there. So, I would like to know if I can ask someone to share the following information with me regarding Marble: <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------

<div><br /><strong>World coverage:<br /><br />Resolution:<br /><br />Age of mapping data:<br /><br />Obtaining satellite images:<br /><br />Availability of Altitude and DEM:<br /><br />Downloading Satellite images:<br /><br />Static image API for downloading imagery?<br /><br />Cost?<br /><br />Licensing and Copyright conditions?</strong><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------

<div><br />I will be looking on the website and will Google some more information in the meantime, but need to understand the specs before I can use Marble to develop.<br /><br />Kind regards, </div>
