According to the documentation Qt Mobility 1.2 Location API is compatible with all supported platforms including Windows XP/Vista, Linux and Mac OS X.

What kind of GPS device are you using and how do you connect it to the desktop?

[qtdev]

yes it applicable for all platform but question is that making gui software that run on computer(desktop) and want to show the coordinate on console.

well... then just "retrieve the coordinates of the location":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Retrieve_Location_Using_Qt_Mobility and print them.

[qtdev]

#include <QGeoPositionInfo>
#include <QGeoPositionInfoSource>
 
// QtMobility namespace
QTM_USE_NAMESPACE

for this i need to include simulator but for that i had to select qt simulator in target setup dialog box..i implemented this example but when i running this application it give the coordinate but show qt simulator control et.c..

question 1 is there any way such that by selecting desktop in target setup dialog box and implement this..

if i not select qt simulator in target setup dialog box then green line appear on this
#include <QGeoPositionInfo>
#include <QGeoPositionInfoSource>

// QtMobility namespace
QTM_USE_NAMESPACE

..

whats the solution...

thanks in advance...

To use QtMobility on desktop you have to download the sources and compile it yourself. It is not installed by default in Qt SDK. After that you will be able to compile for desktop.
Back to GPS question, on desktop the geo position returned coordinates, are zeros. I dont know if QtMobility supports desktop GPSs.

GIVE THE SOLUTION FOR THIS

#include <QGeoPositionInfo> #include <QGeoPositionInfoSource> // QtMobility namespace QTM_USE_NAMESPACE

// QtMobility namespace QTM_USE_NAMESPACE ..
