Re: Google Maps Integration

Having a "Map Application" is already quite a step forward. As Marble supports the KML format (the one that's also used by GoogleEarth), it can probably be integrated with other "Map Applications" as well.

One step at a time, though :-)

Hah of course :) I like what I see - it just set my mind whirring!

I really like the way that KDE4 has moved towards abstracting data services to the applications, opens up a lot of possibilities. It would be nice if there were some kind of subsystem which could accept plugins/data sources and present them to applications. Maybe there already is... I'll be the first to admit I don't really know what I'm talking about ;)

But, yes, patience... patience..

Yay!

I would imagine the following use cases for this:

- tagging a series of photos with geolocations
- selecting an area in marble and show all the photos that have been tagged with that area

Yes,

This will be the second pass : to have a Search GUI based on marble to be able to find a photo using a map. It's in my TODO list...

Thanks. That's actually a possible usecase I've used while presenting Marble. Of course it's something I'd love to use. Awesome to see you're planning to implement this. :-)

Marble integration in digiKam right side bar is now complete on my computer. I will polish the code and commit this evening.

The screenshot have been updated:

Next stage is to build an interface to "Search photo on a map"...
