Another intersting observation, when the map works properly, I receive the following output:

QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment. qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_client_method qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_server_method QGeoTileProviderOsm: Tileserver disabled at QUrl("http://maps-redirect.qt.io/osm/5.8/satellite") QGeoTileFetcherOsm: all providers resolved

However, when it fails to work properly, I get the following:

QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment. qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_client_method qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_server_method

And it hangs there, never echoing the message stating that all the providers were resolved. This would make you think that the issue then is some how related to one of the modules listed, but when I switch the plugin to use Mapbox, I get NO console output, and obviously a blank screen.

However, if I add a callback to the Map Component.onCompleted, I can clearly see that onCompleted is called for the Map.

The plot thickens.

@vladstelmahovsky Hi! Better ask this on the developers mailing list, this forum is more for end users.

@QMotza

read about QtPosition read about reverse geocode read about routequeries

yes, you can do whatever you want with Qt, but...you have to read a lot

I just stumbled accros the same odd behavior with Qt 5.7.1. However, the strange thing is, that it seems to be only a problem on android (on windows it's fine). Does anybody know if that's a (already reported) bug?

@Alexander_Lanin didn't see you already found it before I submit my reply...

Our March meetup session materials are now available.
This time, the workshop aim was to discover the Qt.controls.labs. This time, I didn't create a new project for the workshop but used the Gallery example.

@nmnandakishore You are welcome.
By the way, you might be interested in viewing this post containing the materials used during my last meetup which was focus on QtLocation - you could find helpful tips for managing maps, point of interests and route.

Thanks for the google map plugin, I study this post, the codes of your plugin and got some questions

1 : All of the information of google map are obtained by static api of google map?
2 : How could we support offline routing, offline search by term? By now all of the routing information are get from the server, to implement offline routing, we need to

a : download require map, data from the server
b : write our own algorithms to search the locations by terms and routing? I guess every maps data got their own format, but the locations searching and routing algorithms should be the same?

3 : QGeoTileFetcherGooglemaps is the main class of this plugin, which in charge of create request(by static api) and get the results back by the other classes?

Thanks a lot

Run configure in verbose mode to see why it is being skipped. Also, make sure QtLocation folder is there in your source directory.

By just uncommenting the line:
#INSTALLS += target additional

in mapviewer.pro,

It runs up and shows the map on my android phone, great!
