New to mapping and Open Street Map. Marble was recommended to me, so I installed. Windows 7 64 bit.

When I run the program, I get a large globe overview map. If I zoom in to anywhere, should it not download maps? If I switch to OSM maps, North america is just a white blob. If I zoom in, nothing happens. If I select File->Download Region->download visible, nothing happens. If I select File->Download map, nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

Anyone???

I solved this problem as follows:
1) Download and install OpenSSL;
2) Copy libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll and ssleay32.dll from OpenSSL folder to marble installation folder.

I have the same problem. Can anyone help please? The possibility presented by the guy who answered before me doesn't work. Thanks for any help in advance

Previous solution worked for me. OS windows 7 x64. Copied libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll version 1.0.2n x64_86 win-64 to marble installation directory.

OpenSSL libraries were downloaded from here https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL. Referred by this page https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries, do note "Important Disclaimer" section.

You can also try to open OpenStreetMap dgml file in notepad and replace all "https" with "http". Since OpenSSL is not needed for unencrypted http connections, marble should auto-download maps with no problem.

On windows 7 64bit, this dgml file is located in: marble installation directory\data\maps\earth\openstreetmap\openstreetmap.dgml
You can find marble installation directory by looking at properties of marble shortcut.
Default installation directory on windows 7 64bit is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Marble

Thanks for the advice I have changed https to http and it works now, but only OpenStreetView Other layers still do not show anything Is there any way how to fix it? Thanks in advance

By changing "https" to "http" you changed property of "downloadUrl" elements in dgml file for openStreetMap map theme. All other themes were not affected. Apparently this element is responsible for downloading.

In my version of marble (marble-qt, 2.2.1 app version, 0.27.1 lib version) there are also Vector OSM and Sentinel2 Satellite Map themes. Auto-download with those themes worked without any workarounds. And there are "downloadUrl" elements with "http" protocol specified in dgml files of those themes.

The thing is, all other themes have no such element in their dgml files. I guess not being able to auto-download for those themes is by design.

If you want other online map themes, you can find some online map services and generate marble map themes for them using "Create a New Map..." tool in the "File" menu.
