Hi all,
here's another quick update on the state of vector tiles:
- we are able to generate vector tiles from country size input files
now. Germany for example is processed in less than 24 hours.
- country borders are handled properly now
- there are a bunch of speed and style improvements at various places
However we don't reach the desired frame rate (always at least roughly
10 fps on modern hardware) on Android yet. Therefore I moved the release
date of Marble Maps again, see [0]. Feel free to help out, many tasks
are described in our board [1] already. Ping me (Earthwings) or Torsten
(tackat) in #marble in Freenode for details. Thanks for your patience
:-)
Regards,
Dennis

Hi all,
we made some good progress with vector tiles in the last weeks/months:
- tile levels 0-9 are basically done now from natural earth data and
Marble tools.
- the remaining tile levels 11-17 can be created with Marble tools now
as well. We need some development still to be able to deal with
country size input files. My plan here is to pre-tile them to level ~9
using osmconvert and then feed to Marble tools. Similarly we need some
development to merge country borders. Both is relatively
straightforward to implement.
- we can mix file system and MBtile storage on the server now, which
is needed to store large amounts of tiles.
- we now have two nice servers (a fast one to generate tiles, a second
one with lots of space to host them)
- speed and styling tweaks are still needed
Given that we didn't finish a substantial portion of vector tile data
yet to cover most of the world, I just postponed the release by some
weeks [0]. I hope to find some more time to work on things in the next
weeks. Any help is welcome of course, as usual #marble in Freenode is
the place to discuss things.
Regards,
Dennis

Hello!
I read something interesting about marble maps which is based on
osm. I like the navigation application which is based on osm since I
am an osm editor and I can see the results of my editing. Now the
question is this: when will it be released?
Best regards
