Το Marble είναι μια πανίσχυρη εικονική υδρόγειος και παγκόσμιος χάρτης.

Αποτελεί τμήμα του Εκπαιδευτικού Προγράμματος του KDE.



For a short introduction into Marble you might want to have a look at the slides of our presentation about Marble at Akademy / GCDS 2009.

There's also a YouTube-video of the first 10 minutes available. The full video can be downloaded here.
