Bug#817825: marble: enable experimental vector tiling
Package: marble
Version: 4:15.12.1-1.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
As of a few months ago Marble contains experimental support for vector tiles.
This is functional but rudimentary, but I think to help the general FOSS effort
it would be good to deploy this to users already. It doesn't affect normal
usage - you have to explicitly enable the "Vector OSM" map and then select it
in your Map View for it to be used.
See https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/OSMVectorCompile for details.
To enable this in our Debian package, the patch is simply this:

and I have built the packages here:
https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/apt/pool/contrib/m/marble/
if any Debian users want to quickly try it out. There is still lots of work to
be done by upstream - e.g. the zoom-level cut-offs for hiding smaller objects
(for performance reasons I guess) currently don't result in a very good user
experience, see:
https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/res/
for some screenshots of this in action. But, hopefully more user feedback will
improve this product, and perhaps attract volunteer contributors that wouldn't
otherwise have realised that this ability exists.
