I think you have confused the services - the nominatim service is not being discontinued, rather it is the previous namefinder service that is being discontinued. Namefinder has now been depreciated and not updated for just over a year. namefinder is hosted on gazetteer.openstreetmap.org nominatim is hosted on nominatim.openstreetmap.org I believe that Marble is already using the nominatim service and as such this should not require any changes. -- Brian _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
