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.

04:31	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.

05:39	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.
