    Is it possible to open the (Symbian) phone's Maps application from QML? (maybe using some use of openUrlExternally?). If so, is it possible to open it show that it shows 'My Position'.

    [Please don't answer that I can embed a map in the app - this is not what I want or need to do.]

    Thanks

    Simon

      Hi Simon,

      Yes, in Symbian you can launch an application if you know its UID: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_launch_an_application_with_its_UID

      Please also consider the solution to obtain the coordinates of the position with the location API and to load Ovi or Google Maps in a web browser with these coordinates.

      Cheers,
      Leon

        Thanks for trying to answer the question but the article you reference is for Symbian c++ and not QML. (nor is it Qt c++).

        Thanks

        Simon

          I am still not that familiar with QML but as far as I read you can "call Qt class methods directly from QML":http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/CS001613_-_Calling_Qt_class_methods_from_QML
          Additionally you can wrap the Symbian C++ code to a Qt Class.

          Best regards,
          Leon

            Hi Simon,

            Do you have any progress with this issue? Have you tried the Forum Nokia example for "calling class methods directly from QML":http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/CS001613_-_Calling_Qt_class_methods_from_QML ?

            10x,
