[Marble-devel] satellite view

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi Eildert,

great you like Marble! :-)

To our knowledge using Google satellite maps or Bing maps in Marble 
violates their terms of service. Therefore we do not ship these map 
themes. From a technical point of view however using them in Marble is 
just two commands away for each (hint: clone what you like from [1] in 
~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/).

We are working on more detailed satellite maps that can be shipped with 
Marble currently. Not the kind of resolution Google offers, but still 
much better than our current satellite maps. Maybe Torsten can give a 
status update on it here :)

Regards,
Dennis
