OpenStreeMap particularly in Germany is so complex and burdensome that they are commercial products such as Google or Yahoo Maps certainly can hold a candle. I find it in the browser to use but somewhat slow. Here the mapping program Emerillon steps into the breach.

From Ubuntu Karmic Koala

Can install the program it from a private repository. If someone already on the road with his Ubuntu Lucid 10:04, then it goes from one source. Otherwise, a second package is missing from this source. In order to make it you simply dissipates Ubuntu Karmic commands …

$ Sudo apt-add-repository ppa: mathieu-tl/emerillon$ Sudo apt-add-repository ppa: audidude / ppa # with karmic only necessary$ Sudo apt-get update$ Sudo apt-get install Emerillon

… and from your webspace for Emerillon under 'Applications ->Accessories ->Map Viewer “program. As you will see that the program still lacks a program icon. Would be nice if someone could put here with a talent for drawing in conjunction with the makers

Me personally, the search has a bit confused. I had on “Edit ->Preferences” activate the Search plug-in and then sought via Ctrl + F or simply by entering a keyword. Result? None … for a search, it's not enough to turn off the plugin, you must also via “View ->Toolbar” to activate the toolbar. There you will find on the box then you can initiate a local search.

It would be interesting to know whether routing is planned to be created from Emerillon out. Champlain to # unfortunately I have to get a reply, you have any information?
