|-
|| 00:01
|| Welcome to this spoken tutorial on '''Introduction to Marble'''.

|-
|| 00:06
|| In this tutorial, we will learn

About '''Marble''' interface and

|-
|| 00:12
|| Different menus

|-
|| 00:15
|| To record this tutorial I am using,

|-
|| 00:19
|| '''Ubuntu Linux OS''', version 16.04

|-
|| 00:24
||'''Windows 10 OS'''

|-
|| 00:27
||'''Marble''' version 1.12.20

|-
|| 00:33
|| To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with basic Geography.

|-
||00:41
|| Let us open the '''Marble''' application in '''Ubuntu Linux OS'''.

|-
|| 00:46
|| Click on '''Dash Home'''.

|-
|| 00:49
|| In the '''Search bar''', type '''Marble'''.

|-
|| 00:53
||'''Marble''' icon is seen.

|-
||00:56
|| Double-click on it to open the '''Marble''' application.

|-
|| 01:02
|| Let us open the '''Marble''' application in '''Windows 10 OS'''.

|-
|| 01:07
|| In the '''Search bar''', type '''Marble'''.

|-
|| 01:11
||'''Marble '''icon appears in the list.

|-
|| 01:14
||Click on it, to open the '''Marble''' application.

|-
|| 01:18
|| This is the interface of '''Marble Virtual Globe'''.
|-
|| 01:22
|| Interface has two sections, left '''panel''' and '''topographical''' map of earth.

|-
|| 01:31
|| On the top left corner of the map we can see an '''Overview Map''' of the globe.

|-
||01:38
|| Observe that the '''Overview Map''' has a small white circle.

|-
|| 01:43
||This circle depicts a particular location on the globe.

|-
|| 01:48
|| Now I will rotate the globe.

|-
|| 01:51
||As I rotate, observe the changes in the position of the circle on the '''overview map'''.

|-
|| 01:58
|| At the bottom left corner of the map we have a '''Scale bar'''.

|-
|| 02:03
|| '''Scale bar''' shows the ratio between actual distance and distance shown on the map.

|-
|| 02:10
|| On the top right corner of the '''topographical''' map we can see a '''compass'''.

|-
|| 02:16
|| It shows the four directions north, south, east and west.

|-
|| 02:25
|| As per our convenience we can change the location of '''Overview map, Scale bar''' and '''Compass'''.

|-
|| 02:37
|| On the right side of the map, we see a white circular tool named as '''windrose'''.

|-
|| 02:44
||It has 4 arrow buttons.

|-
|| 02:48
||This tool is used for navigation on the globe.

|-
||02:53
|| I will click on the up and down arrow buttons of the '''windrose'''.

|-
|| 02:59
||Observe that earth rotates on its axis back and forth.

|-
|| 03:06
|| Next I will click on the left and right arrow buttons of the '''windrose'''.

|-
|| 03:12
||On clicking these arrow buttons, the earth spins around its physical axis.

|-
|| 03:19
|| The arrow keys on the keyboard allow us to change the directions on the globe.

|-
|| 03:25
|| As I press the arrow keys, notice the changes in direction of the globe.

|-
|| 03:32
|| Below the '''windrose''' we have a '''Home''' button.

|-
|| 03:36
||This button resets the globe to its original position.

|-
|| 03:41
|| Next we have a vertical '''Zoom slider'''.

|-
|| 03:45
|| On the slider, plus(+) button is for zoom in and minus (-) is for zoom out.

|-
|| 03:53
|| Click on plus(+) or minus (-) buttons or drag the slider to zoom the globe as required.

|-
|| 04:03
|| We can also scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out.

|-
||04:09
|| Notice the changes on the size of map, as I scroll the mouse wheel.

|-
|| 04:15
|| Let us drag the zoom slider to see the map of India clearly.

|-
|| 04:21
|| I will zoom out to get the previous location on the map.

|-
|| 04:26
|| At the bottom of the window we see a '''Status bar'''.

|-
|| 04:31
||The '''Status bar''' shows '''Position''', '''Altitude''', date and time of a particular location.

|-
|| 04:39
|| Next we will look at the menu bar of '''Marble'''.

|-
|| 04:43
|| Menu bar has standard menu items like,

'''File''', '''Edit''', '''View''', '''Bookmarks''', '''Settings''' and '''Help'''.

|-
|| 04:55
||Notice that short-cut keys are available for some of the sub-menus.

|-
|| 05:01
||For example, short-cut key to open a file is '''Ctrl O'''.

|-
|| 05:07
||Short-cut key to '''Download Maps''' is '''Ctrl N'''.

|-
|| 05:12
||These short-cut keys are called '''Command tabs'''.

|-
|| 05:17
|| Below the menu bar, we can see a toolbar.

|-
|| 05:21
||It has '''Open''', '''Print''' and '''Copy map''' icons.

|-
||05:28
|| Now I will demonstrate how to set a default home location.

|-
|| 05:33
|| I am taking India, as my default home location.

|-
|| 05:39
|| To set the '''Home''' location, go to '''Bookmarks menu''' and select '''Set Home Location'''.

|-
|| 05:47
||We can also use the '''Home''' button on the keyboard to set the '''Home''' location.

|-
|| 05:53
|| Now we will set a bookmark for Mumbai on the map.

|-
|| 05:58
||Locate the position of Mumbai on the map.

|-
|| 06:03
|| Go to''' Bookmarks''' menu and select''' Add Bookmark''' option.

|-
|| 06:09
||'''Edit Bookmark- Marble''' dialog box appears on the screen.

|-
|| 06:15
|| In the '''Description field''', type the name as '''Mumbai, India.'''

Click on '''OK''' button.

|-
||06:23
||A bookmark for the location of '''Mumbai''' has been saved with latitude and longitude.

|-
|| 06:30
||I will zoom out to get the previous location on the map.

|-
|| 06:35
|| Let us check whether our '''Home''' location is set properly or not.

|-
|| 06:40
|| So, I will close the '''Marble''' application by clicking on cross button.

|-
|| 06:46
|| Now I will reopen '''Marble''' application using the '''Dash Home'''.

|-
|| 06:55
|| Notice that, the interface has opened with the same view as we closed earlier.

|-
|| 07:02
|| Below the toolbar, we can see 5 '''Panels'''.

'''Search''' , '''Routing''', '''Location''', '''Map view''', and '''Legend'''.

|-
|| 07:14
|| We will learn more about these '''panels ''' in the upcoming tutorials

|-
|| 07:20
|| As an assignment:

|-
|| 07:22
||Locate Delhi and Chennai on the India map.

|-
|| 07:27
|| Bookmark these positions on the virtual globe.

Hint: Use '''Bookmarks''' Menu.

|| 07:35
