How to pass QGeoCodeReply to a map and display the location?

WhatIf

Hi,

I have been trying to write a program to mark a few locations on a map. After several attempts I was able to get the following code together by following the instructions on this page:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-maps-cpp.html

        QGeoServiceProvider *provider = new QGeoServiceProvider("Open Street Map");
        QGeoCodingManager *manager = provider->geocodingManager();

        QGeoAddress address;         
        QString country = "United States";
        address.setCountry(country);
        QString countryCode = "+1";
        address.setCountryCode(countryCode);
        QString zipCode ="90095";
        address.setPostalCode(zipCode);
        QString state = "California";
        address.setState(state);
        QString street = "405 Hilgard Avenue";
        address.setStreet(street);

        QGeoShape shape; 
        shape.CircleType;

        QGeoCodeReply *reply = manager->geocode(address, shape);

How do I use the QGeoCodeReply to mark the location on the map?

And how do I load the map?

@WhatIf The link you provided already has the answer:

Currently it is not possible to interact with maps via C++. Mapping applications must use the Maps and Navigation (QML) API.

oh, no......I missed that line was concentrating on the code.

Alright, are you familiar with any QML examples/tutorials that can mark several locations on the map. I wish there was a way to do it in C++. I was hoping to skip learning a new language.

@WhatIf You can do this with the ArcGIS SDK all in C++. Here is a sample for geocoding in C++ - https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/cpp/sample-code/geocode_sample.htm

@WhatIf you have to use MapQuickItem {} from QML
