Success Stories: Software which makes use of Marble
Applications
Ed. Hölzel: Neuer Kozenn-Atlas - Geothek 1.1
Screenshot:
Description: Ed. Hölzel is the publisher of the Kozenn Atlas -- Austria's most popular classroom atlas. The Neuer Kozenn Atlas is sold together with an "Atlas CD with 3D and globe view". It's an application called Geothek which was developed by Helmut Mülner from Joanneum Research. This application builds on top of the Qt version of Marble and adds numerous features and maps to it: Geothek allows to view the high quality Hölzel physical maps as well as other maps from the Kozenn Atlas. The location database is also based on the Hölzel Atlas and the user interface is fully translated into German.
Geothek also provides a special 3D satellite view which lets the user fly across the mountain landscape. Also included is a special statistics view and a set of "silent" maps as a bonus.

Theyr.com: Precision Weather Planner - Gribview 2.0
Screenshot:
Description: Theyr.com provides various levels of live weather forecast data that can be accessed at any time, from the very high resolution NMM data which is used for wind energy short term forecasts to the free low resolution Global forecast system data.
Theyr.com provides a stand-alone client application called GribView 2.0. The application is using the Marble Widget to request and display the weather data (wind, precipitation, pressure, waves and temperature). It adds numerous features to configure the view up to the user's needs. There's also a GribView Video Tutorial available on the Theyr.com website which nicely shows how to use the application.

Cockpit
Description: Cockpit is an application for the visualization of sensor data and assistance functions of cognitive systems. The screenshot shows the usage of Marble to visualize the position of the vehicle (orange, GPS position mapped to the nearest road). The camera field of view shown in green in Marble corresponds to the video image on the left. Speed limit signs recognizedin the video are shown in Marble. Marble is also used to seek through sensor data (i.e. clicking on some point in the map seeks the video to the closest position).

Plugins
geoshape (Koffice2)
Description: geoshape is a so called shape, a plugin that can be used in (nearly) any Koffice2 application, like KWord, KPresenter and so on. At the moment it is limited to displaying a simple map, like they can be seen in Marble. Features like displaying adresses from a spreadsheet might follow later but are nowhere near implemented.
