Hello,
Applogies if this is obvious and I've missed, I'm still getting to grips with this tool. We'd like to use Marble on a machine that doesn't have an internet connection. To do this I'd like to download the map tiles and then copy them across to the non-internet machine.

My understanding is that I can download the tiles using the Download Region menu option. I think this is creating numbered folders under each map folder, presumably one folder per map level. Do I just copy the number folders across or is it trickier than that?

I'm mainly interested in the Atlas map, so if there's somewhere I can just download a big zip file with all the requried files in then I'm happy to take that approach as well. We'd like to do other ones as well but that's not essential.

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, just transferring across the cache folder which contains the various numbered directories should be sufficient to make this work.

Yes, exactly.

The default location of the cache dir is ~/.local/share/marble/ in Linux. It can be adjusted using the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable, if needed. Tiles from openstreetmap end up in ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/openstreetmap/ for example.
