How to integrate Google Maps?
-
Build instruction:
1-Open project using QtCreator
2-Choose proper Build Kit and profile (for example debug profile)
3-Copy files manually or use terminal and run this command:make -f Makefile.Debug installormake -f Makefile.Release installif you choose release profile for building plugin.
4-Use plugin by settinggooglemapsasnameproperty of the Plugin Item. (for more information about using QtLocation and QtPositioning refer to Qt official documentation) -
@kd_wala I doubt using that QtLocation plugin can be considered legal, by the Terms and Conditions of Google Maps.
There was a dissucsion about using Google Maps not through their API's (JS, Java?), which looks like is not allowed. See comment:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27304?focusedCommentId=300663&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-300663Alternative is to use QtWebView and control official web-based Goole Maps through QtWebChannel, by creating JavaScript webocket connection from within WebView to your app.
Or, create QtWebView-like wrapper for native Java Gogole Maps components, just like QtWebView creates and manages native web view on different mobile OSes. There are limitations of course, as QML components will not be able to overdraw on top of these native components.

@carles-sole-grau , When you done clone & build plugin, you should create folder 'geoservices' in same folder of file execute, then copy plugin into this 'geoservices' folder
You can see struct plugins in folder ( that why we have name 'geoservices') where you install Qt ex: '~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/ (I using Ubuntu & Qt5.8)
on QML you do like this:
Plugin {
id: mapPlugin
name: "googlemaps"
}for tutorial how plugin, refer to example : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-styleplugin-example.html
