Coincidentally, I am looking for a program with which to manage a collection |
| 10 |
of locations. Many a year ago I did this with Googleearth – it offered a |
| 11 |
tree in which I sorted all sorts of locations, mostly places that I have |
| 12 |
been on holiday, with my school class, on tour with choirs and so on. |
| 13 |
|

In the end I would like to be able to view a map of my |
| 15 |
area/country/continent with a cloud of colourful flags/markers. |

I don’t really want to use Osmand for this even though it uses kml(?), the |
| 18 |
same format used by Googleearth. The reason being I only have a small-screen |
| 19 |
Android device which screen is not comfortable enough for this task and its |
| 20 |
storage space (for maps) is rather limited. |

I had a quick look at viking, but I couldn’t really get a hang of the UI and |
| 23 |
I got the impression that it’s not meant for this kind of use case. |

I do use marble now and again, but unfortunately, it does not have a marker |
| 26 |
feature at all. |

Can anyone give a suggestion? Cheerio. |
