[Marble-devel] [Mockup] Configurable Route Profiles

looks good.

The "Configure" Button opens a popup over a popup - don't know if that
is a problem.
But as it's for power users only and not often used it could be ok.

A ComboBox isn't the best widget here, as it's a one-time action and
not a permanent
selection.
I don't think it's a common use case to load a template for an
existing profile, I think
it is more common to add a new profile based on a template. So why not add the
template functionality there - I was thinking of a context-menu-like
menu that pops up
when clicking "Add".
