            Bug ID: 324356
           Summary: Monav routing configuration dialog should suggest the
                    requirement of monav-routing-daemon
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: marble
           Version: 1.5.0 (KDE 4.10.0)
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: parejaobregon at gmail.com

I have been using marble for a long time (one of my favorite kde apps), and
with each new version I tried the routing engine, hoping for it to function
properly. It was not until I accidentally found out on the internet I needed to
install monav-routing-daemon, that I could make the monav routing engine to
work.

Of course it now works flawlessly, and I'm very happy with it, but it would be
very nice for the configuration dialog to indicate somehow to the rookie user
(like me) the dependency on monav-routing-daemon. It may be displayed as a
tooltip when configuring the monav routing engine, for example.

I now know it is easily found in the userbase and other sites, but the casual
user should not perform web searches for basic functionalities to work. If
other engines have similar requirements they should indicate so similarily.

Anyway, I love Marble, and thanks for the hard work!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open routing configuration dialog
2. Select monav routing engine configuration options
Actual Results:  
Configuration options are displayed but the user has no way of knowing
monav-routing-daemon is required (other than an internet search).

Expected Results:  
Display a tooltip or some kind of warning to indicate the requirement of
monav-routing-daemon
