Developed by Daniel Marth during Google Summer of Code 2011. User interface ideas (under development): On startup a "home screen" is shown that lines up a couple of possible activities. Each activity is represented by its name and an icon, aligned in a grid. Selecting any activity brings the user to the main screen. The main screen adjusts itself to the chosen activity and provides a way to go back to the home screen and related activities. Most activities display a map (MarbleWidget) as the main widget, but that's not always the case (e.g. during configuration).
Planned activities are as follows:
Marble Touch for MeeGo 1.3, to be released with KDE 4.8. Supported activities are
The following features will be missing in the very first release 1.3.0:
Releases will be aligned with the KDE release schedule. Minor releases will be feature releases, however. The missing features from above will be added gradually in these releases.
| Description | Type | Target | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Street Map Theme Preference | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Correctly update after installations (possibly need to forward countChanged signal) |
| Use Harmattan colors | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Replace: Blue and gray in Navigation activity, lightsteelblue in hightlights |
| Toolbar icon for offline toggle | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Currently using a non-toolbar theme icon |
| Fix float item borders | Polishing | 1.3.2 | There are pixel errors |
| quick Online toggle icon | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Where useful, e.g. Routing activity. See Navigation activity |
| Consistent margins and spacing | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Bad example e.g. map theme selection in Preferences |
| Improve whitespace usage in Search/Routing | Polishing | 1.3.2 | Use more space for the map whenever possible (e.g. no search result, no turn directions) |
| More voice commands | Feature | 1.3.2 | Announce destination, GPS loss. Test whether concatenated commands (turn distance) work. |
| Improve map matching | Feature | 1.3.2 | No turn instructions if direction and distance indicate that we're not following the route. Detect that a U-turn is needed and announce it. |
| Voice installation progress | Polish | 1.3.2 | Use a progress bar to show the voice navigation speaker download/installation progress. |
| Reverse geocoding for via points | Feature | 1.3.2 | Use that instead of "Point in map" |
| Remove via points | Feature | 1.3.2 | Currently deactivated as triggering it from the ViaPointEditor delegate affects the delegate itself (deletes it) which results in a segfault for some reason |
| Add missing activity icons | Polishing | 1.3.x | Routing, Tracking and Navigation still use generic icons |
| QML Tile Creation Progress Item | Polishing | 1.3.x | QWidget version instantiated by MarbleMap, looks strange and is portrait only |
| Search result icons | Feature | 1.3.x | Add an image provider for placemark icons and use it in search results |
| Last target as route destination | Feature | 1.3.x | Keep a model of last route targets and let the user choose from it when editing via points |
| Improve Offline Routing Data UI | Polishing | 1.3.x | Right now, it's a very long list with lots of small items to pick. Maybe add this alphabetical scroll slider (like in the contacts app) or use a drill-down menu like in Nokia Maps? Continent -> Country ( -> Province or All) |
