How to dynamically add map objects to QML MAP element? Or how to create customised Map widget?

Thanks Till,
what problems do you have with scaling? If I anchor the map to the QML root item and then scale the window the map size is increased. What's the result you get?

The map just doesn't scale with the window. These are my very first minutes with qml, so i may just be missing something. What do you e.g. mean by anchoring? Would you mind changing the appropriate parts in the wiki page?

[conny]

Ah ok, just try this:

@
Rectangle {
id: page
anchors.fill: parent

Map {
anchors.fill: parent
}
}
@

Ok, now you won't see the rectangle anymore, but you get the point.

Also you might need the following in main.cpp:
@
view.setResizeMode(QDeclarativeView::SizeRootObjectToView);
@

That will always scale the root QML item to the size of the QDeclarativeView.

Thanks, Conny. With these two changes, the map scales nicely!

And feel free to do changes/extensions to the wiki yourself :-)
