[Marble-devel] New to Marble

[Paul Carlisle]

Hello.

I found Marble a few days ago, and have been reading up on it, as well as 
playing with simple test programs that explore it's settings. I have a couple 
of questions:

1) Is there a definitive web source for development information, or is this 
mailing list the best compendium?

2) How do I change the default unit of measurement? An application we are 
thinking of using Marble for requires Imperial measurements, but there doesn't 
seem to be a function to set this as there is for angular units.

3) We often have to specify both the latitude and longitude of the point the 
map is to be centered on, along with the breadth of the desired view. How 
would I set the zoom or distance factors to ensure that the minimum widget 
dimension (height or width) will span a given distance in, say, kilometers?

This is a wonderful library, and I am looking forward to replacing our current 
map visualization routines with it. Thanks to everyone who has worked to make 
this possible.
