Just checked it, they changed their URLs so the map theme in Marble for it does not work anymore. I added https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330362 to track it and fix it. Once we uploaded a fixed map theme for opencyclemap you just need to update it (via File => Download Maps).

Any specific map you're looking for? We have a bunch available already, a couple are shipped directly with Marble and other ones are available via File => Download Maps. http://marble.kde.org/maps-4.5.php has a list of those.

The map theme has been fixed. You need to upgrade it on your system to get the fix: Open Marble, choose File => Download Maps in the menu. Scroll down to OpenCycleMap and press "Upgrade". Thanks for reporting the problem.

Hi
Thank you very much! I will test and use it soon.
Your question from friday concerning other renderers. I did search and find some months ago a very simple renderer with only black and white lines (and texts if option text did be select). Reason: permit to blind people to accede better to cartography using adapted visualisation's instruments (as Refreshable Braille displays). But as my old hard disk controller did burn out, I have no name for this renderer any more...
