@Jarvis159
yes, but this topic has already been discussed many many times.
and you don't get me, when u say there are no tutorials out there .... even in this forum.
If you have a specific question .... sure no problem.

Hi
This is old but might still be valid

also

I dont think there is an actual step by step tut as such but im pretty sure you re not the first to want it :)

@Jarvis159
actually there are at least 3 Qt-Examples using QML-Map-item to display/show/interact with a map.
It does use QtLocation do it, haven't tried it myself however, so no idea if the backend is googlemaps or some other open street map source.

Example code link
