Question about Qt Location

Marek

Hi all,

I need to display map in new application window,
-- be able to provide address
-- zoom to location
-- manually set a few markers
-- plot the route
-- mark current location (from gps) in relation to route
-- take gps coordinates from markers.

I have read somewhere that I can't interact with map from C++ so this must be in QML.
My application is in C++, but in some other app I have connected signals from QML to C++ like this:

    view = new QQuickWidget(ui->scanPage);
    ui->scanPageLayout->addWidget(view);
    ui->scanPageLayout->setMargin(0);
    view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/declarative-camera.qml"));
    view->show();

    QQuickItem *root=view->rootObject();
    filter = root->findChild<QObject*>("zxingFilter");
    QObject::connect(filter, SIGNAL(tagFound(QString)),this, SLOT(tagFound(QString)));
    controls=root->findChild<QObject*>("closeButton");
    QObject::connect(controls,SIGNAL(closeScan()),this,SLOT(closeScan()));

Can this approach work with Qt Location?
Meaning the app is in C++ and I'm using one page of QStackedWidget to display and manipulate the map

I know that these are vague questions ;)

Yes, no problem.

And how about map itself is it better to use Open Street Map, or get api key from Google and use google map ?
Can I do everything just in Qt, or use some SDK like developers.arcgis.com according to this video:
