Thanks, good to know.


It would be handy if this was prominent on the wiki and had a more informative 
error message in the application otherwise you get very frustrated users left 
with a very bad impression.

After all Marble and its routing is discussed and publicised fairly broadly 
and nowhere is it mentioned - "Currently only works in Europe". Any user who 
tries it outside of Europe is going to think its rubbish.
