That's great to hear, as many apps use location nowadays.<br>

To use with QML you will also need:</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;
-qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; "> </p>

import plugin</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;
-qt-user-state:0;">and at least one geoservices plugin, either
qt5-qtlocation-plugin-geoservices-nokia or
qt5-qtlocation-plugin-geoservices-osm <br>

Possibly something for the Mer/Nemo community to step up, but I'll
mention it here.<br>
I'd recommend to add/include support for GPSd or simply serial NMEA
too. That way it would be possible to hook up a bluetooth GPS
(through USB-BT dongle) or a USB or RS232C GPS to the virtual
machine and have a real, reasonably high accuracy, location stream
available.<br>
