Hi all,

I'm developing an application in Qt... how would I go about getting the current location from the GPS?

Thanks,
Stewart

I should post more often when I have a question to ask, it helps me a lot in answering my own question. For posterity/anyone interested: http://qtmapper.garage.maemo.org/ does just what I/you need! Now to dig through it all...

Have as well a look at the Qt Mobility project. First packages are available in extras-devel as a tech-preview. So don't expect something which is ready, but you could give it a try. It requires Qt 4.6 to run. Otherwise (more stable, but not pure Qt) you could have a look at this example, which uses the C-libs of the liblocation API (more). The instructions on how to build it are not so good, but look at this thread to get the information. Or add to your *.pro file:

Code:
CONFIG          += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG   += gtk+-2.0 hildon-1 liblocation

Thanks Daniel... QtMobility is the thing that I wanted to exist, a nice clean way to interface with device independent things handled by the Qt implementation. I'll give it a shot.

These are the version numbers for different versions of qt-mobility, but all for Maemo 5.
