Description Torsten Rahn 2012-02-02 14:40:14 UTC
Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

When browsing around in OpenStreetMap map theme whenever a new area or zoom level is entered the area appears just blue. This leads to an awful map browsing experience (since you hit into seconds where you have absolutely no clue where you are and you are completely fishing in the blue dark). 

Instead Marble should load existing tiles of other levels and should reuse those until the real tile is there.
This works well in the desktop version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Browse around or zoom in or out.


Expected Results:  
No blue background visible when browsing around. Higher level tiles are used to provide a temporary replacement for current view (as done in the desktop version already).

This only happens if the real storage is not available (e.g. when mounting the device via USB and the MyDocs partition is unmounted) and I'd rather not special-case this to avoid additional code complexity.
