00:33 | Marble version 1.12.20 and |
00:37 | A working Internet connection. |
00:40 | The process demonstrated in this tutorial is identical in, |
00:45 | Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 |

01:11 | I have already downloaded and saved the file to the Desktop folder. |
01:16 | Right-click on the file and select Open with Marble option. |
01:21 | Earlier in this series we had created a route map from Mumbai to Pune. |
01:26 | Now we will see how to change an existing route. |
01:30 | We will change the destination from Pune to Aurangabad in the existing route. |
01:35 | This can be done using drag and drop method. |
01:39 | Move your mouse pointer on the route. |
01:42 | A green flag icon with + symbol appears. |
01:46 | This indicates that it is possible to add new routes. |
01:50 | Click with the left mouse button on the route. |
01:54 | Move the pointer and drop it at the new location, Aurangabad. |
01:59 | B icon appears on the location of Aurangabad. |
02:03 | Now we have to delete the ending point Pune. |
02:07 | Right click on the ending point Pune, in the existing route. |
02:11 | A context menu appears. |
02:14 | Select Remove this destination option. |
02:18 | Notice that the existing route is seen as a dotted line. |
02:22 | A new route from Mumbai to Aurangabad is created on the map. |
02:27 | An existing route can also be changed using the Add via icon. |
02:33 | We can see this icon as a plus green symbol in the Routing panel. |

03:25 | A new route from Mumbai to Vadodara appears on the map. |
03:29 | Here Mumbai is the starting point and Vadodara is the destination. |
03:34 | Now we will see how to find a reverse route. |
03:38 | Click on the Reverse Route icon in the Routing panel. |
03:42 | Notice that the existing route is shown as a dotted line. |
03:46 | A reverse route from Vadodara to Mumbai is seen on the map. |
03:50 | Now source is Vadodara and destination is Mumbai. |
03:54 | To clear this route from the map, click on Clear Route icon. |

05:20 | I will select the Desktop folder. |
