[SailfishDevel] QGeoSatelliteInfoSource in Sailfish

[Marcel]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick response on a sunday... I've already seen that there is 
no GPS in the Emulator, but since Friday I have my own Jolla device :)

As first project I'm trying to create a simple app showing the GPS infos 
similiar to "GPS Info Qt" on Symbian.

QML PositionSource (and in C++ QGeoPositionInfoSource) is working without 
problems on my real device (besides the accuracies are the same as stated in 
my first mail), so I can access the hardware, but there seems to be something 
missing for the SatelliteInfoSource.

Greetings,
Marcel
