Important: Please start Marble with gdb for this task ("gdb marble-qt") and report all crashes together with the backtrace to bugs.kde.org and attach them to this task.
First update Marble to latest master and get the result tarballs files from:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5794305566310400
and

Extract them in a directory and watch the tours
The whole idea is to create a new tour which presents places in the same way - just for your favorite map theme instead (That could be a different planet or some historical/climate map theme or whatever).
Now be Stephen Spielberg and direct a Tour about your favorite map theme. Tell the whole story:
- Create a similar Tour for your favorite map theme (OSM and the Moon map theme are excluded for this task - so please choose a different one).
- Add 10 FlyTos with appropriate Waits and flight durations in between
- Make a balloon pop up for each place that displays text and images similar to the bestofosm4.kml . Add some text with interesting facts about the place you show.
Make sure that you specify the image links as relative paths.
- If there is an opportunity then add soundcues.
The whole thing should be entertaining, interesting and nice to watch :-)
Save the whole tour as a kml file (save the images you use in the same directory before you add them) and attach the resulting tarball to this task.
