Unsolved Place map example doesn't work fine!

[mbnoimi]

Hi,

Whenever I run Places map example I get this error message .

How can I replace MapQuest service with something work?!

BTW, I tried to pull this thread up but unfortunately I didn't get a suitable response on it :(

Does it need to be OSM as map provider? Otherwise you could use mapbox, which works pretty well.

You have to sign up at mapbox to get an API key. Then change your plugin key to "mapbox" and provide the mapbox Map ID and mapbox Access Token.

see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-plugin-mapbox.html

@Schluchti Thanks

I tried to modify the example depending on MapBox requesremtns but unfortunately I get this error message:

qml: Plugin Error (mapbox): The service provider does not support the QPlaceManager type.

This discusses why it doesn't work any longer - https://forum.qt.io/topic/69190/openstreetmap-finish-to-work-any-alternatives/5

It has been this way since July of 2016.

I already know that. My problem with MapBox itself which suppose to be the valid alternative to OSM plugin

[ldanzinger]

The documentation does not mention support for place searching (which your example code uses) - http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-plugin-mapbox.html

Are you needing to perform place searching, or just map viewing?

Unfortunately I couldn't find any solution until now although I posted this issue since a while!

I filed a bug report about this bug , Meanwhile I wish to get some help from Qt gurus because Qt location doesn't useful without accessing a stored places!
