I will need to find out how to request turning the GPS on in Qt, without low-level Hildon-specific tricks.
Added timer start/stop (timer eats up to 18% CPU; and closing/opening application would erase the coordinate from memory); allows to conserve the battery whilst preserving the goal coordinate.
Added option to set current coordinate as goal, so that you wouldn't need to restart application to do it.
EDIT: Clarification: the file isn't attached because it was built by auto-builder.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/qdialgps/
Though it takes some time to move it to extras-devel repository from builder queue.
The package isn't polished, the description is absent, but it should function.
EDIT: Package imported and working.
EDIT: The package 0.0.1 worked yesterday brilliantly. Today, after some apt-get update/remove/autoremove/clean, the same exact package DOESN'T work! What is going on?
