[Help needed] HTML5 app with geolocation?
 

I have been working on a bus tracker app for Philadelphia, and I wrote it as a web app to ease porting to iOS/Android/etc. I figured I could make it into a native app using a QtWebView, but when I try to build it Javascript tells me that there is no navigator.geolocation object. According to the docs there should be, but I can't find a simple example of how to make it work anywhere on the web (I'm rather new to QT, so the one app that I found I couldn't figure out which parts were the functional bits I needed).

Could anyone give me some advice here?

Only supported from 4.8 onwards. So In Harmattan which uses 4.7.4 its not supported.

Theoretically using
you can pass QML variables to the webview element, so you can use a QML PositionSource element to find the location and pass it as a variable to the web view

Ok, so I would need to just pass in JavaScript that redefines navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to call with the current lat/lon. How do I set up a PositionSource element? Is there a good source for tutorials on things like this? (Again, I'm rather new to QT.)

I don't know of a good tutorial but you can start here

and check oobProfile source for a working example
