@kd_wala
Could you explain how that plugin is installed?
And how you implement it from QML?
Thank you very much.

kd_wala

@carles-sole-grau , When you done clone & build plugin, you should create folder 'geoservices' in same folder of file execute, then copy plugin into this 'geoservices' folder

You can see struct plugins in folder ( that why we have name 'geoservices') where you install Qt ex: '~/Qt5.8.0/5.8/gcc_64/plugins/ (I using Ubuntu & Qt5.8)

on QML you do like this:
Plugin {
id: mapPlugin
name: "googlemaps"
}

for tutorial how plugin, refer to example : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-styleplugin-example.html
for detail refer to doc: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/plugins-howto.html

Build instruction:
1-Open project using QtCreator
2-Choose proper Build Kit and profile (for example debug profile)
3-Copy files manually or use terminal and run this command: make -f Makefile.Debug install or make -f Makefile.Release install if you choose release profile for building plugin.
4-Use plugin by setting googlemaps as name property of the Plugin Item. (for more information about using QtLocation and QtPositioning refer to Qt official documentation)

@kd_wala I doubt using that QtLocation plugin can be considered legal, by the Terms and Conditions of Google Maps.

There was a dissucsion about using Google Maps not through their API's (JS, Java?), which looks like is not allowed. See comment:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27304?focusedCommentId=300663&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-300663

Alternative is to use QtWebView and control official web-based Goole Maps through QtWebChannel, by creating JavaScript webocket connection from within WebView to your app.

Or, create QtWebView-like wrapper for native Java Gogole Maps components, just like QtWebView creates and manages native web view on different mobile OSes. There are limitations of course, as QML components will not be able to overdraw on top of these native components.

@vladstelmahovsky can you tell me how to use the Geocode option? I need to be able to enter a postcode and then set the long and lat to that location

vladstelmahovsky

@joshmarshall95 just like any other QtLocation geocode API
