Further the example is explained in the guide, which is linked on the wiki-page of the example as well. But please be aware, that the general information, you find there is a bit outdated. But the discription of the location example is quite ok.

As I said, I was able to solve all of these problems. But it also meant that I spent a weekend implementing a feature that could have taken just a few hours at most.

I have no experience with glib/GTK+ coding. Here are some pointers as to what could be improved:

• Use Qt for the UI (obviously).
• Show how to integrate the glib event loop into the Qt event loop. My use case: try to get a GPS fix, but show a dialog that allows the user to abort the operation.
