[SailfishDevel] How to get GPS Location in QML

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi Bolek

that's of interest to me as well.

I am at work, so I shouldn't spend too much time on this ...

But I had a quick peak at the sources

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtlocation/source/64ee46398e7285a8cd30f483ab730eb87bf01b33:src/imports/positioning/positioning.cpp

It looks to me that PositionSource is a Location 5.2 type. (But the  
Location bundled with Sailfish is not 5.2 yet)

It that is the case then we have three options

1) wait for Qt 5.2
2) download and compile the Location 5.2 sources, and use those
3) write your own plugin to expose PositionSource to qml. I did this  
on Harmattan 4.7.4 for the SatelitteSourceInfo

I hope to make time this evening to look more closely into this.
