Sure, me too. I use it quite often, and misses the ability to do anything 
meaningful.

The problem for me is that I use digikam quite much, so to be able to keep 
working on marble, I need to compile digikam too, since the package version 
does not work with self-compiled marble.

Problem #2 is that marble is very much a moving target, I tried making some 
improvements for gpx - loading waypoints and routes - but I feel insecure 
because I do not know if those changes will ever be approved, or if the gpx 
handling will be changed completely in the meantime.
